you need to run:

chmod +x /path/to/Google-earth.bin; sudo /path/to/Google-earth.bin

the file is a Linux binary so just needs marking as executable and running. obviously change the path to where you actually store the file

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth

add the medibuntu repo and install google earth from that, much easier

Sorry, I unsuccessful tried. Perhaps my knowledge on UBUNTU is not that good. I will appreciate if you please let me provide step by step instructions. I ran medibuntu in terminal, It sound running but went OK. But nothing shown on my desktop or in Application area.

Now what is the nest step?
