To run a shell script you first give it permissions:
chmod u+x nameofthescriptThen you run it. Assuming you're in the directory where the script is:
./nameofthescriptIf it needs to run with root privileges:
sudo ./nameofthescriptUse a terminal and enter
sh /path/to/script.sh.For example,
sh ~/Downloads/script.shif your script is in your downloads folder.The file you've downloaded is a script file writter un shell ( the first line are the interpreter). So to launch it, you have to open a terminal, like root45 said, terminal can be gnome-terminal or xterm program. The go the directory where you're shell script is saved (command cd), than launch manually your script : sh yourscript.sh
