Open a terminal (Application-->accessories--->terminal) and run the following commands:
wget http://www.real.com/realcom/R?href=http://forms.real.com/real/player/download.html?f=unix/RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
chmod a+x RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
sudo ./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

I tried the suggested commands but I got the reply that no such file or directory exists.

Hi
I followed the following steps to install RealPlayer in my computer.
*)Download and save the installation file from http://www.real.com/linux
*)Open up a terminal and go to the directory where the downloaded file is saved.
*)use the following command to change the permissions fo r the file.
"chmod 755 <filename>.bin"
*)Now, you would be able to install the file by this command.
" ./<filename>.bin"
*)Just keep pressing Enter and the installation will be complete soon.

Eg:
The downloaded filename will be RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
so replace <filename> with RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

Note:
If you feel its tedious to fill long names, in directory if you want to use the filename just give first 3 or 4 letters and press <tab>key, the shell would fill it for you.

Hope I answered your questions.
