how to install a .sh

sorry about the lack of intelligence in posting this but I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer to my question ^

I'm not sure how to install a .sh file

also: I have a problem with wine/wineX, for some reason there is no configuration file and I can't run "winesetup" because it doesn't exist

Any response would be quite helpful, thanks

To run a '.sh' file make sure its executeable with:

chmod +x filename.sh

And you can then run it by just typing the file name or doing

/bin/sh filename.sh

do I have to cd to the dir I put it in, like if I move the file to /usr/bin do I cd /usr/bin and then etc?

Just cd to the directory where the file is and type:

./filename.sh

P:S. As Andrew said, you have to verify that the file is executable first.

lately I've been downloading files on my windows desktop and burning them to cd for my linux laptop because linux won't detect my modem
