I have downloaded a program to the downloads folder, it is as pasted...... 

/home/rod/Downloads/eagle-lin32-7_6_0-1.run

The question is : How do I get it to install or run?? The program is for Linux 32 bit but I cannot find any way to get it to go. Regards, Rod. J.

  • Is your installation of Ubuntu a 32 bit? If yes: `chmod +x /home/rod/Downloads/eagle-lin32-7_6_0-1.run && ./home/rod/Downloads/eagle-lin32-7_6_0-1.run` – Raphael Sep 05 '16 at 06:04

This one line command should do the trick 

chmod +x /home/rod/Downloads/eagle-lin32-7_6_0-1.run && ./home/rod/Downloads/eagle-lin32-7_6_0-1.run

Since run is an executable you have to use the terminal to run
