opening files different ways

Asked by catapolt

I just installed ubuntu on my laptop. Everything was fine until i decided to try and download a program. One of them came as a .zip, so I unpacked it and opened the setup file (usually a .sh file) however, the file opens up as a script in text editor. How do I get it to open the right way? I tried opening it with other applications, but I don't know which to use.

perhaps you have to change the file into executable:
$ sudo chmod +x /home/catapolt/ts/setup.sh

then type:
$ cd /home/catapolt/ts
$ sudo ./setup.sh

Can you help with this problem?
