    .sh would generally denote a shell script. From a terminal, type
    Code:
    sh /path/to/wormux.sh
    to run.

    I would open it in a text editor first and look for instructions, though.

    Wormux is available in the Ubuntu repositories. You should install it through your package manager.

    Talking Yay! it's running.

    Finally got it running!

    what I did was right click it and select properties>permissions>allow executing,
    Then when I double click on it, it will ask me if I want to display, run, or run in terminal.
    I can easily open and read the instructions by going to terminal, and dragging '/home/username/Desktop/wormux-0.8.4-static-x86.sh' icon to the terminal, and it converts to text.

    Only one problem how do I stop it from asking me if I want to run, display, or run in terminal? i just want it to run, and I can easily replicate the others.

    Thanks!
