Execute app in linux

How can I execute a .jar file from the terminal

I know that to execute a file, I use the . command, then the file name with a space between them. But I’m trying to execute a .jar file using the . and it does not work. I went into the properties and marked it as executable and made it run with Java.

Is there a way to execute a file with Java in the Bash Terminal?

I am trying to execute the Minecraft.jar file.

The . syntax can only be used to run (by «sourcing») shell scripts.

You’ll need to use the java command to run a .jar file:

If you don’t have java installed, you can fix that by installing the default-jre ¹ package. You can see if you already have java installed by running in a terminal:

[1]: This will install the default openjdk Java runtime. You can use openjdk-8-jre , or openjdk-7-jre , or openjdk-6-jre instead, if you prefer — whichever is available on your version of Ubuntu.

Linux is perfectly capable of running a foreign binary, like a JAR file. This is how Wine works, for example. To run JAR files as executable do the following in a console

Cd to your JAR file and change it to executable (you can also do this through file properties in Nautilus)

Run your jar file just as if it was any other binary executable or shell script

Note: Be sure you have binfmt_misc linux kernel module loaded. If you use your custom compiled kernel without this module, binfmt-support won’t work.

If it is an executable jar, then

Not all jar-Archives contain an executable class, declared to be started in the Manifest file, but if there is, this will work.

Btw.: You don’t start most programs from the shell with the dot. The dot is a shortcut for source , and it only works in the bash and some other shells, to include a script in the scope of the current session.

A compiled binary xybin is simply started with its name if it is in the path:

or, with its absolute path:

or with its relative path:

or if you happen to be in the directory of the file, with this relative path:

The file has to be marked executable for you (see: chmod). All of the above is true for shellscripts too, but they often have an extension .sh, and you can start a shellscript by invoking the interpreter, and then it needn’t be marked executable:

If you don’t want to start a new bash, you can use source, and you do so, to consume function definitions, aliases and variable settings.

How to make a file executable? [duplicate]

How can I make my file so that I can double click on it, and it runs. It is a .sh script, but I also have files that say:

in the description of what they are.

I can’t run any of these from terminal, or by double clicking.

If possible, I would like a way using either the GUI or a Terminal, but not a combination of the two.

Here is a screenshot of what I see when I right click then go on properties. The file first:

And the shell script here:

NB: I accept that this is a duplicate (I was looking for it, and couldn’t find it, so asked + answered it, hoping that I would find it) however, I don’t think the question about .desktop files is a duplicate.

1 Answer 1

There are two ways of making a file executable:

GUI Method:

Go to the permissions tab, then tick the box Execute: [✓] Allow executing file as program.

Command line method:

Note that chmod does also have some more advanced options. It accepts three groups of options, represented as — — — . The first set of — is User. The second is Group and the last is Other (everyone else).

r stands for Read, w for Write and x for eXecute.

To allow everyone to read it, but only Group to execute and User to read and write it would be -rw- rx- r— . This would be added to the command as:

chmod also can do this in numbers. It is based on binary.

So there are these numbers:

Execute by user is 100 . Execute by group is 010 . Execute by other is 001

Write by user is 200 . Write by group is 020 . Write by other is 002 .

Read by user is 400 . Read by group is 040 . Read by other is 004 .

Then you add these together to get the desired combination.

So to allow everyone to read it, but only Group to execute and User to write it would be 400 + 040 + 004 and 010 and 200

That adds up to 600 + 050 + 004 = 654 .

You could then run the command.

to set it. So to set all permissions you can run:

Finally, you can do:

To take all permissions away from everyone.

To add read and write for the user, without affecting any other permissions (e.g. Execute permissions).

This website has a very useful little tool, whereby you can tick the options you want and it gives you the command:

However, not all the possible combinations are sensible to use; the main ones that are used are the following:

755 — Owner has all, and Group and Other can read and execute

700 — Owner has all

644 — Owner can read and write, and Group and Other can read

600 — Owner can read and write

And, if you’re using non-trivial user groups:

775 — Owner can read and write, and Group and Other can read

770 — Owner and Group have all, and Other can read and execute

750 — Owner has all, and Group can read and execute

664 — Owner and Group can read and write, and Other can just read

660 — Owner and Group can read and write

640 — Owner can read and write, and Group can read

777 and 666 are rarely used, except in /tmp .

Thanks Ilmari Karonen for pointing out the ones in common usage!

How to run an .exe from linux command prompt

I am new to Linux. I am currently trying to write a command line which should execute a *.exe inside a folder abc.

But the error says no such file or directory .

9 Answers 9

but if it’s really a Windows program, you will need to install «wine», then do:

but only some Windows programs will work under wine.

This anwswer is combining other answers in to this question into one.

The info.exe file will either execute under Linux or Windows, but not both.

Executes Under Windows

If the file is a windows file, it will not run under Linux on it’s own. So if that’s the case, you could try running it under a windows emulator (WINE). If it’s not compatible with wine, then you won’t be able to execute it under Linux.

Before you can start, you will need to install wine. The steps you need to install wine will vary on the linux platform you are on. You can probably google «Ubuntu install wine», if for example, you’re installing ubuntu.

Once you have wine installed, then you’d be able to execute these commands.

Execute Under Linux

if you know this file to run under linux, then you’ll want to execute these commands:

Change to your abc directory

Then you’ll want to change permissions to allow all users to execute this file (a+x).
you could also allow just the user to execute (u+x)

Launch the program, the ./ tells the command line to look in the current path for the file to execute (if the ‘current’ directory isn’t in the $PATH environment variable.

you can’t 🙂 exe is Microsoft only. now if you had a linux executable you could do:

On Linux you give the file executable permissions. It isn’t the extension that determines whether or not it can be executed (as on windows.)

Assuming you have a valid file that can be executed in Linux, (not a windows/dos file) do this:

Note that you need the leading ./ for the shell to find the file in the current directory!

This really belongs on superuser though.

I recently wanted to run some old MSDOS .exe files and I could just use dosbox. On Ubuntu it was just

apt-get install dosbox

.exes are generally Windows executables, not linux ones. To run those, use something like WINE.

Otherwise, to run a Linux executable, there are many ways, e.g.:

1. cd abc; ./info.exe
2. ./abc/info.exe
3. /full/path/to/abc/info.exe
4. Add «abc» to your PATH, then just run it as a normal command.

Wine is a program that you can install, which allows you to run .exe files on linux.

apt-get install wine

(go to the directory of your file: /cd (ex: Desktop/) And to open your .exe file:

If you have any problems with wine, you can do wine —help .

Here is how to run an executable file in Linux:

1. open terminal with ctrl + alt + T : sudo apt-get update
2. install Wine: sudo apt-get install wine
3. go to the directory in which your .exe file is placed by changing directory: cd /Desktop
4. wine filename.exe

Hit enter and your .exe file will be executed.

Executing a Linux executable on Linux

If the executable is a Linux executable, you need to make sure that your shell can find it. Here are some ways how to do that.

But first, make sure it’s executable. You can check whether the x (executable) flag is set using ls -l abc/info.exe and you can set it with chmod +x abc/info.exe .

• Run it with relative path, in your example: abc/info.exe .
• Run it with absolute path, for example: /home/username/abc/info.exe (depends on where it actually is)
• Place the binary in a directory that is part of the PATH that is searched by the shell to find binaries. For example, cp abc/info.exe

/bin is part of PATH , you can now run info.exe without qualifying it.
Make the directory that contains the binary part of the PATH , for example, export PATH=

/abc:$PATH . Note that this is for the current shell only, unless you add this line to your .bashrc or .profile

Command To Run (execute) Bin Files In Linux

I have downloaded a file from internet that ends with .bin extension. The documentation (INSTALL.TXT) file says just run bin file. What command I need to type in order to run bin files in Linux or Unix-like operating systems?

Tutorial details
Difficulty level	Easy
Root privileges	No
Requirements	None
Est. reading time	1m

A .bin file is a self extracting binary file for Linux and Unix-like operating systems. For example Java or Flash are two examples of these types of file. Just type following two commands to run .bin files. In this example, I am going to run a binary file called file.bin .

Run .bin file in Linux / UNIX

Change the permission of the file you downloaded to be executable. Type the following command:
$ chmod +x file.bin

Start the installation process or run .bin file. Type the following command:
./file.bin

Hello ,
I was trying to extract from the java bin file. I could change the mode, but when I say ./filename.bin ( according to your last example), it says file not found although I am just cutting and pasting the file name and it is in the same directory.

can you help please ? thanks

yu need to install libstdc++ package to solve this problem. Use yum under centos/fedora/redhat or apt-get under debian/ubuntu Linux.

Thanks Vivek.
I managed to unzip it. I have a unrelated question on running java on a cluster. Where can I ask the question. I was not sure if I should ask about it here.

Hi!
I am new to linux.My situation:
ziga@ziga-laptop:

$ chomd +x./math.bin
ziga@ziga-laptop:

$ /home/ziga/math/…/emlin701/math.bin
bash: /home/ziga/math/…/emlin701/math.bin: cannot execute binary file
What can i do? Is there an option to transform an .bin into an .iso file?
Thanks for your help.

Easier way… Just right click, goto permissions tab, and mark as executable. Then open the terminal and drag & drop the .bin or w/e file into it, and press enter.

Thanks Tesu, heck of a lot easier

Im trying to install java 6.15 so I gave it 100% read write permission to everyone, and it still wont work. when I put $> jre-6u15-linux-i586-rpm.bin it says there is an error, order not found

For ubuntu you can just draw the file into terminal so it has the file location and type command run

how i can install exe modem file to linux suses please answer me cuz i need it

Wine is the only windows emulator that I know of that would work. Have you checked your /etc/pppd and /etc/ppp.conf files to see if there isn’t already a driver for your modem? If it’s a Ethernet NIC (network interface card) and not a “modem”, then it will probably work straight out of the box.

i want to install modem zain connect it’s setup.exe to linux how i can do that please tell me

What about is there any file’s name can be used to save a file to execute in terminal without command it from terminal? What i mean is i want it to be operated when i click on the file’s icon, it will directly run its function in terminal of linux fedora. (e.g. file.txt or file.sh or file.trx) but to run it in terminal is “file.?” ?

Thanks in advance.

hello,
I m installing java on AIX machine It shows error on

You need to set execute permission using the chmod +x command:

thanks Vivek, But I alredy gave the permission to that file

Dear All. M having the following error while executing the commend

bash: ./i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms: No such file or directory

Kindly suggest any solution

Looks like it’s been made executable (* at end) and you are the owner, the file has an inode and at least one file linked to it…. I take it that ll is an alias for ls -l or something akin to that, so unless it searches across multiple directories, and you aren’t in the correct directory to run the script (of course the file has to be in the PWD for it to run) then more than likely the file is corrupted and you have to download it again.

Thanks.
i success to run it.
