How do I open/run a .bin file?
I'm new to linux and this is my first time in the forum; need some help. I've never used a .bin file before, even on my other os (win98). I just downloaded a .bin file; /home/evan/Desktop/ManageEngine_ApplicationsManager.bin
now what do i do?? I'm using ubuntu 6.10. Could someone walk me though this like I'm the village idiot :) |
just run it. it's a program, like a setup.exe on windows.
ManageEngine... good choice. |
Open a terminal emulator (to get console) and type
Code:
chmod +x /home/evan/Desktop/ManageEngine_ApplicationsManager.bin Code:
chmod +x Desktop/ManageEngine_ApplicationsManager.bin Code:
chmod +x ManageEngine_ApplicationsManager.bin EDIT: If you like using graphical tools, then on Ubuntu you can achieve it this way: right-click on the file on your desktop, choose Properties. Open Permissions tab and check the box that says to allow executing the file. Close the Properties window and try double-clicking on the file; either it runs, or if it doesn't, try the console method if it works better. |
Thanks Bouncer, that worked
