How do you run a ISO file?

Question

Im trying to figure out on how to run an iso rather than mounting it but I have tried checking other sources but I either don't get what it means or it's the opposite. Help on this would be awesome.

What do you mean by "run" an ISO? ISO's are not executable files... — Seth, Jun 18 '13 at 02:30
@IgnacioVazquez-Abrams You should just add a comment, and then flag the most ;-) There is a special duplicate flag reason. — Seth, Jun 18 '13 at 02:52
@Fauksy No, you don't open ISO's. Maybe if you explained what you are trying to do we can point you in the right direction. — Seth, Jun 18 '13 at 02:52

"run an ISO rather than mounting" -- there is no such thing. An ISO is a disk image representing a CD-ROM, and this determines what you can do with it: mount it or burn it to a physical CD (and then typically use that CD to boot).

See: How to burn or mount an ISO file?
