how to run netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh

Doja,

Shell scripts are run with ./ as the prefix ./netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh or sh netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh
Try it out in a terminal.

This does not work. I had tried that several times, but system does not recognize the download, I get an error message in the console window that says the file is not there. I downloaded to my desktop, then made sure to point the browser to my desktop to look for the file, and still nothing. I even downloaded the file twice. Still nothing.

You need to make this file executable. You can do it in the properties dialog (invoke it by right-clicking on it and choosing Properties) or in the terminal, by running: chmod +x netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh
Then, running this file by typing ./netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh should work

Przemyslaw,

This is what I get when I run those commands you gave me.

root@******-desktop:~# chmod +x netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh
chmod: cannot access `netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh': No such file or directory

You said earlier that your file is on the desktop. Before running chmod change your directory to desktop by running: cd Desktop/
Then you will be able to do what I wrote earlier.

here is what I see...

root@reidojackson-desktop:~# cd Desktop/
-bash: cd: Desktop/: No such file or directory

that tells me (I think) that I am already navigated to my desktop and that I cannot go to that file structure. Since I have not created another folder on the desktop called desktop.

Could you run this command and paste here its output:
ls -sla
Then I will see what is your current directory and what files are in it.

great question, here is what I found. and I really dont understand. My Unbuntu skills are really limited unfortunately.

what is the ' ~# ' reference? all I know is that I cannot change my directory very easy, not sure if I am just sitting on the root now or what.

Ah, now I see. You're on the root account while what I wrote should be run on normal user account.
Is root rights are needed for installing netbeans then use sudo ./netbeans-6.0.1-ml-linux.sh as the last command or you while on root you can just change the directory to /home/your_user_name/Desktop/

ok, I was working too hard. I was not running as standard user. That worked fine. I was always switching to root control since I had to do that for other things. Thanks!
