How to create clickable executable file that works like an .exe file on Windows?
Solution 1:
Short answer:
chmod +x /path/to/your/script
Unix will only run files which have the "executable bit" set in their "mode" for the user trying to run it. chmod
let's you change a file (or directory) mode. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions#Permissions or for details on how to use it try man chmod
.
For a script, it also needs to have a "shebang line" defining which script interpreter should run it.
