how install?

[Mishung]

I browsed to directory with Planeshift in shell by CD command, than I turned to super user "su"
made the chmod thing - nothing happened.. I dont know what it need to look like after I hit enter but It just jumped to second line...
and than I typed ./Planeshift....bin
and it sayed permission denied, anyone know how to actually install it? I am running openSuse 10.3
thx

Hello,

Browsing by cd to the planeshift directory is good.
What I don't understand is why you need to be super user for the install. Just as a note, it also should work as normal user.
The question is, what you typed exactly as chmod command. If you didn't set the file as 'executable' with this command, you will get an error like you described, so I think there is the error.
-> Example for chmod command: chmod 755 ./Planeshift....bin
This sets the ./Planeshift....bin to executable for the current user.

ok thank you, now it works... well I started to use linux just yesterday so I am such a noob
I was notorious windows user so I am just learning now, dotn ask me why I typed SU, I also dont know

I know this is offtopic, but it's just to say that it's a frequent new-to-linux user to think that a command did nothing cause nothing was printed out in the console. But don't worry, you'll soon get the point.

Also a bit off-topic, but you should try to get acquainted with the way the command line works here. There are many guides on the net and many of them are quite newb-friendly without being patronizing. Just google for information and you'll have so much of it your biggest problem will be which guide to pick. Also it's fun to experiment.

Cheers!
