How to Install a Bin File in Fedora

Instructions

• 1 Open a Terminal by clicking "Applications," "System Tools" and "Terminal."
• 2 Navigate to the directory containing the .bin file in the Terminal with the "cd" command. For example, open the Downloads folder by typing "cd Downloads" into the Terminal and pressing "Enter."
• 3 Make the .bin file executable by typing "chmod +x" into the Terminal, pressing "Space," typing the name of the file and pressing "Enter." For example, make "File.bin" executable by typing "chmod +x File.bin" into the Terminal and pressing "Enter."
• 4 Become root by typing "su" into the Terminal, pressing "Enter," typing your root password when prompted and pressing "Enter." Installing a .bin file system-wide requires root access; some .bin file may install for a single user if you are not root.
• 5 Run the .bin file by typing "./" followed by the .bin file's name into the Terminal window and pressing "Enter." For example, run "File.bin" by typing "./File.bin" and pressing "Enter." The "./" at the start of the command tells the Terminal to look for the specified file in the current directory, and not in system directories containing Linux commands.
• 6 Complete the .bin file's installer by following the instructions on your screen. As with Windows software installers, each .bin file has its own interface.
