[SOLVED] I need help installing Penumbra

[cygnis1]

Hi everyone. I downloaded the demo of Penumbra Overture, it is a sh file (113Mb). I can't open the file. In a terminal I ran chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh and then sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh and I get an error "./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" . The quotation marks are my own. Is the file corrupted? One of my lugmates thinks it might be a shar file, but Karmic says that it is a shell script. Another friend says that it is too large to be a shell script. Can anyone help? Here is the code:

johnjohn-laptop:~$ cd /home/john/00
johnjohn-laptop:~/00$ chmod +x PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh
johnjohn-laptop:~/00$ sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh
[sudo] password for john:
./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh: 2: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
johnjohn-laptop:~/00$

Thanks
P.S. I removed the dots and at sign from the file name so as not to confuse it with an url.

It's not just shell script. It's sfx archive with shell scripts. Penumbra probably use "autopackage" packager or something like that.
Once I installed this is game successfully. You need run this installer as sudo sh ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh . It will help you. try to do this.

I tried that, but it did not work.

johnjohn-laptop:~/00$ sudo ./PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553sh

Well first, just to check, the filename should probably be PenumbraOvertureDemo-2553.sh. Note the period before the sh. If you entered it as you have it above, it would not work.

I had the dot in front of the sh. I only removed them from the post because I received an error message stating that I couldn't post with URL's, until after 15 posts. I downloaded the game from another site and it worked flawlessly, until I started playing. I suck at games. Thanks for the help.
