Ubuntu – How to install games (.sh and .bin games)

gamessoftware installation

I recently purchased the humble bundle but I am having trouble installing the games and getting them to run.

Some of them are .sh and others are .bin files. On a terminal, I have cd to the location where I downloaded them to and typed chmod +x * so I can apply it to the games that I downloaded. After that i type sudo ./gamefile.sh for the game that is a .sh file.

And when I try to run them I get error saying that a file is not found in the game directory but I see it there and even checked the permissions.

Another game that is a .sh file as well, runs and loads but then it just sends me to straight to the desktop. I don't know if its relevant but I am running the latest Ubuntu version on a Chromebook.

So after trying all of the suggestions, I failed to notice an error reported by the terminal while it was installing.
