How Do You Open A Bin File In Ubuntu?
“Bin” files are files that contain data encoded in binary form, and can include graphics files, compressed files and programs–also referred to as “executables.” Opening executable bin files, or programs, in Ubuntu Linux usually takes a click or two. In other cases, it requires a few steps on the command line in the Terminal application. Double-click the bin file. If it runs, you have successfully opened it. If it does not, continue to the next step. Open the Terminal application, located under “Applications,” then “Accessories” on the top desk bar. Navigate to the directory where the .bin file you wish to open is stored by typing “cd” followed by the name of the directory.
