I just downloaded the file install-crossover-games-7.1.2.sh. I was wondering if anybody knew how to install it on hardy heron? Many thanks for any information you can give.

Navigate to the folder of the file and

sh install-crossover-games-7.1.2.sh

or

double click the file. If it doesn't do anything, right click it, go to permissions and select execute...

that's a shell script (well, linux doesn't use file extensions in the way windows does, so really, that APPEARS to be a shell script).


open a terminal, navigate to the directory the script is in, type



./install-crossover-games-7.1.2.sh


I suggest reading any and all documentation first. Often times scripts need to be run in specific locations and may need to be run as root.

Changing the permissions worked. Thank you again for your assistance.
