Oh My Gosh this question is probably so ridiculously simple. I expect that I am missing something super basic.
I have Ubuntu installed along with Win10 on my laptop. I do not remember the details on how I did that, but if you need to know, I will try. When I start the laptop I get a menu to either run ubuntu by default, or select windows as the third option of four.
I downloaded a zipped file from
https://github.com/abiusx/L3D
and extracted it using windows, then copied to a thumb drive and then I fired up Ubuntu and copied it to the ubuntu desktop.
The readme.txt tells me:
***
To run the system and generate a tree, simply do the following:
./run L++/tree.l++
***
I can navigate thru directories and there is a file called tree.l++ in a directory called l++
I can change permissions and give files r/w/x permission
The syntax of the following:
./run
is the mystery. I get nothing from google searches on that syntax.
There is a file called run.sh in the same master folder as the l++ folder. This looks to me like a red herring: the file extension is .sh, not .exe or .a
I apologize if I am not giving enough info.
How do I run this thing? What does it mean *exactly* when it tells me to "simply do the following"?
