How can you run an executable file in Ubuntu?

To execute an executable file on Ubuntu, you can use the following method:

  1. Open the terminal (press Ctrl + Alt + T in Ubuntu), then navigate to the directory where the executable file is located. For example, if the executable file is in the /home/user/ directory, you can use the following command to navigate to that directory:
  2. change directory to /home/user/
  3. Make sure the executable file’s permissions are set to allow execution. You can use the following command to check and change permissions:
  4. List the executable file using “ls -l” command and then make it executable using “chmod +x” command.
  5. Once you have navigated to the directory where the executable file is located and have set the permissions correctly, you can simply execute it by entering the file’s name. For example, if the executable file is named “executable,” you can execute it using the following command:
  6. run the executable
  7. Please note, “./” is a shortcut for the current directory.

This will allow you to run executable files on Ubuntu.
