[harley3344]

Just delete the .exe extension from the file name, it doesnt matter. Is it on your desktop? If so, open the terminal, type cd ~/Desktop, then chmod +x filename, then sh filename

Of course, filename being the name of the file you downloaded. From there you should be good to go.

 

[Greg]

Also, a little tip: If you dont feel like typing the whole filename because it is too long or complicated, type the first few letters then hit 'tab.' It will complete it for you.

i get "(" error unexpected

 

[Greg]

huh? Copy the entire contents of the terminal and paste it in here, please. That way I can double check

You don't need to sh it, just ./path/to/whatever.exe and it works for some reason. I still can't figure out why they made it an exe.

 

[Greg]

Ah, you're right. So if you are already on the desktop you can just type "./FAH504-Linux.exe"

Not sure why I put 'sh,' that would be for a bash script or something similar.

 

[harley3344]

[harley3344]

im not sure what a bash script is but im sure ill learn here prity quick i want to do a complete switch from windows to linx. oh and if i didnt make it clear it does work now lol. thanks
