Did you searched the Linux Foren for this Problem?

The chmod Command lets you tune the execution Flags for User, Group and others.

Open a Shell and execute,
man chmod
to see how to use this Command.

You have to change the Execution Flag to your User or Group you are own.

Please buy a good Linux Book or search more in the Internet to solve basic Problems on Linux.

bye bert

have you tried running as root with su or sudo? don't forget to change perms to 777 or ownership/group to username/users

Okay, Newbies out there who wants install a [Filename].bin file then just type chmod a+x [Filename].bin that causes changing non-executable file into executable file then type ./ or sh to execute this file to run a installer  :thumbup: :thumbup: :)

In chmod setting for file that a+x filename.bin that "+" is causes this file will be becomes be executable and chmod a-x that "-" causes this file becomes be permission denied and will not be to run executable.

Try type chmod a+rwx [filename].bin --- that is given full permission to access and executable this file as read, write and executable. I hope that will be helpful to you :D

And one thing: If you don't want someone to write or alter a file just type chmod a+rx [Filename].bin that will be read only and executable to let you to execute a file to run.

I learned about chmod permission system things :)
