How to install files with .sh extension in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

Question

I have HP 32-bit laptop with ubuntu 16.04 lts OS. I want to install a software which comes with .sh (e.g. abcd.sh). Now I download this file in Download folder, and from terminal I go to this folder first and ran:

$ cd Download
$ ./abcd.sh
bash: ./abcd.sh: Permission denied

Whats wrong with all those commands? How can I execute the file?

you just need to run bash ./filename.sh – Guilherme Sep 01 '19 at 14:01 — Guilherme, Sep 01 '19 at 14:01

You need to make it executable first, run

chmod +x filename.sh

Then

./filename.sh

You don't need sudo for this. – muru Aug 04 '17 at 02:54

Can you specify the software? Are you sure it is the same as your processor architecture? – Haitham A. El-Ghareeb Aug 30 '17 at 02:16
