Installing a program in Linux?

Question

Hi um... I kind of don't know how to use Linux and I'm trying to install Google Earth on my computer. I found this site:

http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44713

I've already downloaded the correct .bin file. I don't know how to do number 3 of the instructions. The .bin file is still in my desktop, so can anyone give me the exact command to put in? Thankyou so much!

Answer 1

I believe it wants you to open a terminal, make the working directory where the file is, the desktop in this case,

>cd /home/username/desktop

>sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
