`chmod +x /path/to/your/*.sh` then `sh /path/to/your/*.sh` – Raphael Feb 11 '16 at 18:27

To run a .sh file you need to open the terminal, then cd into the directory where the .sh file is located and then type this into the terminal:
chmod +x name-of-your-file.sh
then just
sh name-of-your-file.sh
The output of the command will appear on screen, if you have any other issue, let me know ! :)

There is no need for `chmod +x` if you want to execute script by running `sh` with the script name a an argument – techraf Feb 12 '16 at 02:24

Using `sh` (which is the `dash` shell in Ubuntu) generically to run any shell script is not a good idea: it will fail if (for example) the script contains bash-specific features. It could even use a completely different shell such as `csh`. – steeldriver Feb 12 '16 at 04:02
