Angry Using binary files


Hi,
I'm new to Linux and absolutely hopeless at it.
My question is what do I do with binary files?

I downloaded LimeWire and its binary is:
LimeWireLinux.bin

What do I do with it to get it to install?
What are the commands?

Thanx.

First, set the permissions on the file so that it can be executed

chmod +x LimeWire.bin

You may need to be su to do this


Then just run the file

./LimeWire.bin

Note the period in front (./) This is important.
