How to execute an .sh file?

Question

I thought a sudo will work, but it says command not found:

sudo: ./eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh: command not found
nuc@nuc:~/Downloads$ ./eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh
bash: ./eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh: Keine Berechtigung
nuc@nuc:~/Downloads$ sudo ./eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh
sudo: ./eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh: command not found

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Before you can execute your script, you must give it execution permissions. You can do it by executing:

chmod +x eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh

You can also do it from nautilus by right clicking the file, going to Properties > Permissions, and then selecting Allow executing file as program.

Afterwards just start it with ./eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh and it will start.

Answer 2

Make the .sh file executable with

chmod +x eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh

Then launch the script:

./eTax_ticinoPG13_inst_Linux.sh
