Revision history for BIN
Additions:
~The ##.bin## refers to "binary" as in [[BinaryCode Binary Code]]. This is a program that has been compiled and can be "executed" or run by the computer.
Deletions:
~Often a binary file will need supporting files, for example libraries and frameworks.
~Clicking on a binary in a filer window will run it. If nothing happens it can be instructive to run it in the terminal. Open a terminal in the same directory, and type:
##./<name>.bin ##
Where <name> is the .bin for example....
##./firefox.bin ##
If something necessary is missing from your system, the error messages in the terminal will tell you what, and where it goes....

If you have a .bin file you want to execute try clicking on. If that does nothing, open a [[terminal]] in the same directory, and type:
