Metasploit installer problems

[Guy Sibley]

I downloaded the Metasploit Linux installer which is a file type .run (I have never encountered one of these, but I was told it is essentially a .bin). So i tried to run it as I would a .bin

guy@Cuttlefish:~$ cd ~/Downloads
guy@Cuttlefish:~/Downloads$ ./framework-3.4.0-linux-i686.run

which generates this output

bash: ./framework-3.4.0-linux-i686.run: Permission denied

so I tried using sudo and it said command not found, which I thought was strange as it tried to tell me that I didn't have permission earlier. I then logged in as root and got back to permission denied. Has anyone had experience with this, I would like to start learning about and playing with Metasploit, so any help would be appreciated.

Have made sure the binary is executable?

chmod +x framework-3.4.0-linux-i686.run
sudo ./framework-3.4.0-linux-i686.run

By default files are not executable, but just read/write.

oh jeez, thanks I totally forgot that step. I am going to try that, thanks. As I said, I am pretty new to this.

Yeah, thanks again. That was it.
