Installation of program file ending in .sh
 
I need to know how to install a program I downloaded, that ends in .sh

You don't need to install that, it is a shell script, just execute it. You may have to make it executable first, you can do that with
Code:
chmod +x FILENAME

Code:
bash script.sh

If you're looking for an appropriate directory to save the script in, it sort of depends on what the script does, but possible locations are...

~/bin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin
