You need to set executable permissions on the file first

chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin

think you need to change it to an executable first.

iirc


sudo chmod a+x *package name*

when you are in the right path in the terinal.

or think you can do it through right clicking the bin file and going to properties...

i tried all of these but i just get cannot access hldsupdatetool.bin no such file or directory. its on the desktop.

this is it asactly:
jordan@jordan-desktop:~$ sudo chmod a+x hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod: cannot access `hldsupdatetool.bin` : no such file or directory

Your first command needs to change your directory so that the terminal is looking at the desktop (where you saved the file)

cd ~/Desktop
chmod a+x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin
Note that Desktop has a capital D, case matters in linux.
