No ':' in the uri

Question

Im trying to download firestorm but when I try to run the install.sh it says

Invalid url: '/home/user/Downloads/Pheonix_FirestormOS-Releasex64_x86_64_5.1.7.55786/install.sh' given, exiting
No ':' in the uri

Can someone explain what this means? I already looked at this: No ':' in the url but it wasn't helpful. How do I fix this? I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.01

This looks like a duplicate of the question you linked, and I would imagine the solution is the same (i.e. use file:///home/user/Downloads/... instead). How was it not helpful? — wjandrea, Dec 16 '18 at 00:27
I don't know what it means by that, I don't know how to get file:/// — radicaltad, Dec 16 '18 at 01:07
OK, I'm confused, cause AptURL doesn't run shell scripts. Please describe exactly what you're doing. — wjandrea, Dec 16 '18 at 03:08
Right-click what? And what is telling you that it wants to run through AptURL? Maybe it would be best if you posted a screenshot. — wjandrea, Dec 16 '18 at 03:35
I right click the install.sh. it says "Open with Apth URL". I click that. It gives me the error message. — radicaltad, Dec 16 '18 at 03:38
OK, I can reproduce the error if I open a script with AptURL. I'm not sure how this happened on your side though. If anything it should open the script in a text editor. — wjandrea, Dec 16 '18 at 03:51

It seems like the file needs execution permissions.

This is what worked for me:

Right click on the file, click on Properties.
On the Permissions tab, make sure you have checked the 'Allow executing file as program'
Close it and go open the file. It now runs correctly.
