A n00b question, I know, but how do I run .sh-files?

I've tried double-clicking, writing the filename in terminal and everything.

write sh in front of the name in terminal:

like:


sh somescript.sh

There are a few ways. If you're already in the directory containing the file you could just type:
./filename.sh and press Enter.

afaik u can also rightclick on the file > properties > permissions and enable the top execute box, and then doubleclick the file

Make the file an executable first, by right clicking on it and changing permissions.

Then go to the directory that has the file and type ./scripname.sh

or bash scriptname.sh
