Here's a link which explains about Changing file permission (and ownership)
If you want to skip these (for now of course), you can create a directory/folder in your user-home directory and work on your
C
programmes (or others) there.You can open the terminal (press Ctrl + Alt + T) and
cd
to the target directory:To give the file "the_file_name" execute permission (if the file-system allows you with the RW rights):
You need to give
execute
andread
permissions. Follow this:When we make a new script file then by default it has read and write permission. But if we want to execute them, then we should give execute permission as shown above.
Open your terminal application by pressing
CTRL
+ALT
+T
or with the apposite shortcut on the graphical enviroment (likeTerminal
orxTerm
).In the uniform window which appears on the screen you'll see a blinking character, it's the
terminal cursor
: simply click on the window and write to enter text (typically commands) and pressENTER
to confirm the input.Before the cursor there is always listed your current position on the file system from the
root directory
("/") and your home (where your personal files are) is called "~".To change directory/folder use
cd EXISTENTFOLDER
(replace EXISTENTFOLDER with the folder name); if you feel lost, simply typecd
to return to your home directory in a blink!Now let's solve your problem:
Use the
cd
command to find the directory with your source code. UseTAB
to help you. If you executels -lh
, you'll see a list of possible paths to follow and files to execute.When you've find the blocked file execute
chmod +x FILENAME
(replace FILENAME with the name of your source code file).If you have multiple blocked files execute
chmod +x *
to unlock all files in the current directory. Never chmod +x dangerous or insecure files.Execute
./FILENAME YOUREVENTUALARGUMENTS
to execute your executable file.Remember that if your compiled program tries to read/write outside your home directory you'll need to execute it as
root
by usingsudo ./FILENAME YOUREVENTUALARGUMENTS
.If you want to have a manual for a command execute
man COMMAND
(replace COMMAND with the exact command name, Linux is case sensitive).Some shells have an
Open terminal here
command to simplify your life, search for it in the future and remember that the command shell can be your best friend, if you use it well. :-DIt's all. If you need more help comment under here.
If I'm helping you press the UP arrow on the left; if you solve mark this answer as best answer.
Have a nice experience on Linux & Ubuntu.
Or you can excute it with your shell directly(or other shell versions), if you don't want to change the permission.
