How Do I Run a Program Under Linux?

Saturday November 6, 2004
"Typing the name of the executable on the command line doesn't help? There are three possibilities."
"The first possibility: I did not type the name of the executable correctly. The second possibility: maybe the program is not on my PATH? The third possibility: maybe the file is not executable. If it should be, change the permissions to make it executable."
Details from Linux Newbie Administrator Guide.
