[SOLVED] .bin files

[Sly_Cooper]

Hey, I'm fairly new to Ubuntu's System and I need help installing .bin files

I'm trying to install Google Earth for Linux and my system keeps saying that I don't have a program to handle .bin files.

Is there anyway to fix this?

[kmitnick]

press Alt + F2 then type konsole then go to the directory of the installed BIN file and type

chmod +x file_name.bin

./file_name.bin

[Sly_Cooper]

press Alt + F2 then type konsole then go to the directory of the installed BIN file and type

So, it's saved to my desktop... so I type this into konsole

chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
and it should install?

uh... it didn't work

[Sly_Cooper]

Ah, I figured it out.
Thanks Kmitnick!
