Make it executable:Originally Posted by gigenieks
Then run it in the terminal by dragging the file into the terminal and pressing Enter.Code:chmod a+x <drag the file into the terminal and press Enter>
If, and ONLY IF this fails with a Permission Denied error, then the script you downloaded is actually an installer, and you'll need to "chmod" it with 'sudo' and then run it with 'sudo':
I'm assuming it will create an entry in the Dash when it gets installed.Code:sudo chmod a+x <drag the file in> sudo <drag the file in>
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.

Actually, sudo is only necessary to chmod the file if the user running chmod is different than the file owner.
And of course, you should only do this if you trust the source of the file.

Re: Install TaskUnifier by "running" TaskUnifier.sh?
Installation was successful. But I can't find this program anywhere. It doesn't even show in Dash search. Therefore I can't launch it.
Why Dash doesn't find it? And more importantly, how can I make it searchable?

So this was an installer? You can probably start the program by typing this command in the terminal:
If that's not correct, you can try running:Code:taskunifier
to figure out where it has gone.Code:whereis taskunifier
If this doesn't yield any information, try looking in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin and /opt.
Dash doesn't really "find" programs, it's up to the program's installer to add a ".desktop" file to one of the places it looks. Once you've found where there program actually is (or know how you can launch it in the terminal), you can use the "Main Menu" program in the Dash to add a menu item for the program.

Unfortunately, terminal doesn't start the program. And I didn't find anything named taskunifier (or close to that) in directories you mentioned.
Edit: I can start it by opening terminal dragging TaskUnifier.sh and pressing Enter, but that is really inconvenient!
So what I need to do to access it via Dash or Unity Launcher??

Use the Main Menu program to create a Dash entry for it.

Sorry, I have no clue what are you asking me to do.
Main Menu program??? Can you explain it a bit more, please?
Has headphones now.
There is a program (actually called alacarte) that shows in the Unity Dash as 'Main Menu'. You'll need to install it via the software centre or via terminal:
Code:sudo apt-get install alacarte
