Check for the executable permission. ls -l will tell you the precise permissions of a file. On the very end of the permissions string, an executable will have an x there.
Linux does not determine things like executability the same way Windows does. While Windows will happily (And blindly.) treat a file as an executable when it has certain file extensions, Linux thinks instead about two things: Whether it has a certain permission to run, and if its "interpreter" is available.
Yes, even precompiled binaries run this way. In their case their "interpeter" is merely the loader that passes the program to the kernel for launch.
There is a way to run scripts in Linux without the execute permission, and that's by invoking their interpreter directly yourself, such as the command:
$ python2 /path/to/python/program.py
In this case to Linux you're merely running python with the program you want as an argument.
This does NOT work for precompiled binaries, which MUST be given executable permissions to load and run.
Yes. Linux is a computer operating system.
Linux is not an power full Operating system XP is the most powerfull operating system
1. There is no the Linux operating system.2. Only one component is strictly necessary to make a Linux operating system - the kernel.
Linux is an operating system kernel. It is a portion of the software that makes up a complete operating system.
No, it is not OS is not a Linux based operating system. Giggles is a search engine and created Chrome Operating system. Linux is its own brand of operating system.
there is no "linux operating system". linux is merely a kernel that operating systems can be built upon, of which there are dozens if not hundreds
is linux a disk operating system
Yes, it can be a networking operating system
