I first mounted the iso file, and then after changing the directory to the virtual drive, and running the command sudo ./install, nothing happens. I don't get what I might be missing.

As you mentioned in the comments, the file is owned by root user and root group. So you need to login as root by doing su root and then run the file using ./install. If you face issues in logging as root, you can refer this. Let me know if it solves the problem for you. :)

it still has not worked. I should mention that I extracted .iso file and tried to run the install file from the extracted folder. I did
ls -l installin the new folder and the content is -rwxrwxrwx 1 essi essi 10483 Jan 3 2015 install. I tried everything by login as a root since the beginning of the command line isroot@essi. – Essi A. Feb 04 '16 at 13:56 -
@EssiA. Its getting confusing. What happens when you do
su rootand./installin the original setting that you described in your question? – Shagun Sodhani Feb 06 '16 at 03:28 -
After doing
./install(as arootuser), it does not give me any message and nothing happens (the pointer goes to the next line in the terminal as usual). – Essi A. Feb 06 '16 at 16:28 -
What is the output of
ls -lafter doingchmod +x file_namein the original setting? – Shagun Sodhani Feb 07 '16 at 04:07 -

sudo chmod +x file_namefirst to make the file executable – Shagun Sodhani Feb 02 '16 at 04:37stat -c "%a %n" file_nameand which command gives you permission denied? – Shagun Sodhani Feb 03 '16 at 03:43stat -c "%a %n" install. it gave me the message "555 install" – Essi A. Feb 03 '16 at 16:43ls -l file_nameand post the content here please. – Shagun Sodhani Feb 03 '16 at 16:48
