Hi and Welcome !

chmod command changes file mode or access permissions. +x option set execution bit of file and allow user to execute code of that file.

what i did was typed: chmod +x filename.bin but it says no such file or directory

chmod command could not find .bin file. You have to navigate to the folder having .bin file.
I would suggest you to check linuxcommand.org to learn basic commands.


Which program are you trying to install? Did you search it in Synaptic Package Manager?

Check here for more info on chmod command.
