would like to know the best way to install this application.

Thanks

You need to make sure it is executable first. If not, do

chmod +x name_of_bin_file

Then execute with

./name_of_bin_file

Great, Thanks

Will do right away,

(Do the same graphically) Right click on the file and in the permission tab check the “allow executing as program”. then just click on the file and select run (in gnome).

I always put it in /home/bin 1st;)

I guess you mean $HOME/bin alias ~/bin alias /home/$USER/bin - am I right?

I also do the same for frequently used executable files making my own script.
