So Im trying to install ecmtuning onto my netbook which has a link on their website to download with linux(
ECMTuning download page) but when I open it up to start the download it automatically opens in text editor and I get the message;
Could not open the file /home/nikki/Downloads/ecmlink_3_22_172_full.sh.
gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character encoding from the menu and try again.
Now Ive searched all over google for answers, as well as trying multiple different encoding options from the drop down menu situated under the message above and so far nothing useful or enlightening (although I have not tried opening it in anything other than the text editor because I dont know what program to try)
Im new to linux and I understand bits and pieces but Im soon figuring out that Im not nearly as versed in computers as I need to be to understand this os, so any help would be much appreciated. Just tell me what else you may need to know if I did not add all the proper information you need to help me and I'll do my best in assisting you in helping me
Please and Thank you.
