unable to install .bin files in raring

Asked by drskartik

I was trying to install latest adobe reader through the adobe website. However I was unable to install the downloaded bin file.
this is my terminal output:
jahnavi@jahnavi-AO725:~$ cd Downloads
jahnavi@jahnavi-AO725:~/Downloads$ chmod a+x AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
jahnavi@jahnavi-AO725:~/Downloads$ sudo ./AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin
[sudo] password for jahnavi:
sudo: unable to execute ./AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i486linux_enu.bin: No such file or directory
jahnavi@jahnavi-AO725:~/Downloads$
I seem to be missing something basic.

You've probably mistyped the name, try typing out the full path to the file. Also to install acrobat you can just use actionparsnips link.
