To open the script file with gedit text viewer for example, use the following command:

gedit post.setup.sh

To execute the script, first give execute permissions to it:

chmod +x post.setup.sh

then you can execute it:

./post.setup.sh

If you are not the owner of that file and if you don't have permissions to read/write/execute that script, then run the above commands as root using sudo in front of them.

Right click on the file, choose properties, and once the new windows opens, go to the Permissions tab, and make sure that you have a check mark on Allow executing file as a program. See images below.

Or you can use Radu Rădeanu answer to do it from terminal.

Open a terminal (ctrl + alt + T) and run

chmod +x /location/of/your/file/post.setup.sh

Next run:

sh /location/of/your/file/post.setup.sh

You're done If this didn't work just comment and I'll look into a solution.

If you run sh /location/of/your/file/post.setup.sh, post.setup.sh doesn't need to be executable, so chmod +x /location/of/your/file/post.setup.sh doesn't have sense. – Radu Rădeanu Dec 06 '13 at 13:13
It still writes sh: 0: Can't open /opt/comodo/post_setup.sh – Michael Dec 09 '13 at 20:24
try: sudo chmod +r /opt/comodo/post_setup.sh and then sh /opt/comodo/post_setup.sh – Akisame Dec 09 '13 at 23:20
are you sure that is the correct file path? – Akisame Dec 10 '13 at 13:38
Could you check if the file is actually there? type cd /opt/comodo/ in the terminal followed by ls -a and check if you can find the file in the list – Akisame Dec 10 '13 at 13:45
it writes/opt/COMODO$ sh post_setup.sh -e Please run this script with administrator privileges. – Michael Dec 10 '13 at 17:00
add an sudo before your sh so: sudo sh post_setup.sh – Akisame Dec 10 '13 at 21:17

You can edit with gedit or vim/vi editor using one of the following commands

gksu gedit post.setup.sh it will open in separate viewer.
sudo vim post.setup.sh
