If the file is on your desktop, you first need to run "cd Desktop"

[ghettoman962]

i did that, typed in the files stuff and it just went back to "Name@ubuntu: ~/Desktop". it's not working

ls -al
Should show you if this this file is executable..
If it's not, you make it executable..
chmod +x <filename>
If it is, execute it..

./<filename>

it showed up but after putting in the file name
it says "cannot execute binary file"
