    Run it from a terminal.

    Commands:

    cd ThinkTanks

    chmod +x ThinkTanks.bin

    ./ThinkTanks.bin


    That should work, and you can copy and paste from here

    Yeah, a bug unforunately... but you can use chmod graphically - right-click on thinktanks.bin, select properties, permissions and enable "allow execution of file as program".

    Some .bin files don't execute when clicked on but say no app found to run with.

    That's not a bug, the file doesn't have the permission to be an executable. It happens when you use an archive format that doesn't support UNIX file permissions.
    Also binaries in UNIX doesn't have a binary.foo you can name them whatever.

    I don't remember how did it fix here. But as a workaround, you just open the terminal, drag the application icon into it, and press enter.
