Installing - Executable files

1. Download the file onto the desktop
2. open the terminal (Application → Accessories → Terminal)
3. write the following, note that $ means beginning of each line, saying it is your user but not root.

$ cd Desktop/
$ chmod u+x name_of_binaryfile
$ ./name_of_binaryfile

when you want to remove the program manually you should find the proper place similarly to this:

$ cd /home/user/
$ rm -R name_of_program/

This is not a demonstration of how to install executable win32 compiled files. These are Linux binaries.

To install windy programs in ubuntu you go to Add/Remove, like in my other video, and install WINE.

Then you can right click on a binary file like.... firefox.exe and select to open it with WINE.

It is that simple.

HELL YEAH! I've been moaning and groaning for the last few hours trying to figure this out.

@lolzman21

If the programmers made it well then you only need to double click the executable file.

If they didn't you might need to do the same as I do in this video (and then double click)

This video is in gnome if you have another desktop environment it might be a tiny bit different.

command line: (assuming your file is on your desktop and is named file.bin)

cd Desktop

chmod a+x file.bin

./file.bin

notice that this is a dot slash filename . / file.bin but with no spaces between
