Cannot execute .run file

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit, and I cannot execute .run files. I get a message saying that there is no application installed to open the file.

You have to mark a binary as executable before you can run it. This is just a permission on a file so we use chmod:

chmod +x your_file.run

And then run it:

./your_file.run

And make sure you're not running it from a removable media. – alex Oct 15 '11 at 15:58
