Python (Anaconda Installation)

Question

I have downloaded python 2.7 installer. After downloading the installer, I executed the following command in the terminal:
/home/najam/Downloads/Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
The execution resulted in the following error:
bash: /home/najam/Downloads/Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh: Permission denied

What am I doing wrong? It'll be much helpful if step-by-step sequence of commands is posted for Anaconda's installation. Thanks.

Change to the installation script directory

cd /home/najam/Downloads/

Add execute permissions (this is the part you missed)

sudo chmod +x Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

Then install

./Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

I think you should better use bash command because you need to give executable permission to the shell script file.

bash /home/najam/Downloads/Anaconda2-4.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

Do you have a source for this claim? – don.joey Dec 26 '16 at 09:35
-1 The official site says to use Bash, not Bourne. https://www.continuum.io/downloads#linux – wjandrea Dec 27 '16 at 07:54
You're right, it case should use bash instead of sh. – Steve Han Jan 01 '17 at 09:18
But, generally which any one betwen is not a big deal. – Steve Han Jan 01 '17 at 09:21
Because sh link to bash in linux. sh -> bach. – Steve Han Jan 01 '17 at 09:24
@SteveHan In Debian and Ubuntu, sh links to dash, not bash – wjandrea May 04 '17 at 16:42
