Running a program in Linux
Last
Updated:

If typing the name of the program (executable) on the command line doesn't help then there are three possibilities.
1. You did not type the name of the program correctly. Remeber linux is CaSE sensitive.
2. It is possible that the program is not on the path you specified. To run the program if the current directory is not where the program resides then you MUST type the full path to the program in FRONT of the programs name.
3. You must put a dot . and a slash / in front of the program name it or will NOT run.
It must look like: ./program-name-here
The dot means "current directory" and slash "/" is a separator between the directory
name and the filename.
