How to install .run file in Ubuntu

Register

There's three ways you can do this.

Way One:
1) Right click your .run file, and select Properties.
2) Go to the permissions tab, and check "allow executing file as program".
3) Close out of that window, and download click the .run file, and open it in terminal.

Way Two:
1) Open your terminal. (Applications/Accessories/Terminal)
2) Navigate to the directory of the .run file. (ex. mines on my desktop so it'd be "cd ~/Desktop") and press enter.
3) Type "chmon +x name_of_file.run" and press enter. (Sometimes this maynot work, I recommend it, but if it doesn't skip to step 4, and it should install)
4) Now type "./name_of_file.run" and press enter, and now the installer should run. If not then right click your .run file, and select Properties, and then go to the permissions tab, and check "allow executing file as program".

Way Three:
1) Open your terminal. (Applications/Accessories/Terminal)
2) Navigate to the directory of the .run file. (ex. mines on my desktop so it'd be "cd ~/Desktop") and press enter.
3) Type "sudo name_of_file.run"
