To run a .sh file you need to open the terminal, then cd into the directory where the .sh file is located and then type this into the terminal:

chmod +x name-of-your-file.sh

then just

sh name-of-your-file.sh

The output of the command will appear on screen, if you have any other issue, let me know ! :)

  • There is no need for chmod +x if you want to execute script by running sh with the script name a an argument – techraf Feb 12 '16 at 02:24
  • Using sh (which is the dash shell in Ubuntu) generically to run any shell script is not a good idea: it will fail if (for example) the script contains bash-specific features. It could even use a completely different shell such as csh. – steeldriver Feb 12 '16 at 04:02
