Ubuntu – Help to run CoherentPDF executable

executable

Please help me to run the executable file from the archive which I found at: http://community.coherentpdf.com/ under "Download binaries now for Windows, Mac, or Linux/Download pre-built tools now". When you unzip the archive, there are several folders, my file is at Linux-Intel-64bit, called cpdf. I tried many different options to run this file, changed it's properties to executable. But it won't go.

I assume you have Ubuntu 64bit installed!

Go to the folder:

cd cpdf-binaries-master/Linux-Intel-64bit

Now launch the command:

./cpdf --help

If you want the command to be available everywhere on the system:

sudo cp cpdf /usr/local/bin/

or what I do

cp cpdf ~/bin/

Bash is a shell, it can't execute binary files.

Presuming the file is already executable, you can simply type ./Zodiac_linux.

If it isn't executable yet, you can set the executable bit with sudo chmod +x ./Zodiac_linux and then run the above command.

Ubuntu – There is no application installed for executable files

You have probably forgotten to make the unetbootin file executable.

Right click on unetbootin-linux-583, click on Properties, choose the tab Permissions. Check the small square Allow executing file as program.

Now double click unetbootin-linux-583 and fill in your password.

You can also do it through the command line. Open a Terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T and type:

cd /path/to/unetbootin
chmod +x unetbootin-linux-583
./unetbootin-linux-583

Finally, fill in your password.
