How to install .run files?

[bholzer]

I'm trying desperately to install a .run file on natty, but nothin I'm doing seems to be working.

Thanks for the help!

To install you should just have to do:
sh ./<name of package>.run . However, you may have to chmod beforehand by using 'sudo chmod 755 <name of package>.run to allow it to run as an executable.
