Run files in linux terminal

How to run binary file in Linux

I have a file called commanKT and want to run it in a Linux terminal. Can someone help by giving the command to run this file? I tried ./commonRT but I’m getting the error:

"bash: ./commonrt: cannot execute binary file" [blackberry@BuildMc MainApp]$ ls -al commonKT -rwxrwxr-x. 1 sijith sijith 10314053 Feb 27 16:49 commonKT 

Assuming the problem isn’t just a mixup over names ( commonrt vs commonKT ), what does the command file commonKT /bin/sh say? If it gives two different architectures (perhaps one for ARM and one for Intel), then that’s why you can’t run the ARM one on an Intel machine.

In addition of using file , I also suggest using ldd ; perhaps the dynamic linker or some core shared library is different or missing.

Why does this question have so many upvotes? It contains so many variants of the questioned filename (commonrt, commonKT, commanKT, commonRT), that it’s not even clear what was asked. Also interesting: Does the last comment of Sijith mean that it is answered? And why did user1978011 receive bountys?

To execute a binary, use: ./binary_name .

bash: ./binary_name: cannot execute binary file

it’ll be because it was compiled using a tool chain that was for a different target to that which you’re attempting to run the binary on.

For example, if you compile ‘binary_name.c’ with arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc and try run the generated binary on an x86 machine, you will get the aforementioned error.

To execute a binary or .run file in Linux from the shell, use the dot forward slash friend

and if it fails say because of permissions, you could try this before executing it

 chmod +x binary_file_name # then execute it ./binary_file_name 

The volume it’s on is mounted noexec .

🙂 If not typo, why are you using ./commonRT instead of ./commonKT ??

It is possible that you compiled your binary with incompatible architecture settings on your build host vs. your execution host. Can you please have a look at the enabled target settings via

on your build host? In particular, the COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS variable may give you valuable debug info. Then have a look at the CPU capabilities on your execution host via

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags 

Look out for mismatches such as -msse4.2 [enabled] on your build host but a missing sse4_2 flag in the CPU capabilities.

If that doesn’t help, please provide the output of ldd commonKT on both build and execution host.

@craq I see that you gave me your bounty, thanks! Can you please give some info what the error was about?

This is an answer to @craq :

I just compiled the file from C source and set it to be executable with chmod. There were no warning or error messages from gcc.

I’m a bit surprised that you had to ‘set it to executable’ — my gcc always sets the executable flag itself. This suggests to me that gcc didn’t expect this to be the final executable file, or that it didn’t expect it to be executable on this system.

Now I’ve tried to just create the object file, like so:

$ gcc -c -o hello hello.c $ chmod +x hello 

( hello.c is a typical «Hello World» program.) But my error message is a bit different:

$ ./hello bash: ./hello: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error` 

On the other hand, this way, the output of the file command is identical to yours:

$ file hello hello: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped 

Whereas if I compile correctly, its output is much longer.

$ gcc -o hello hello.c $ file hello hello: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=131bb123a67dd3089d23d5aaaa65a79c4c6a0ef7, not stripped 

What I am saying is: I suspect it has something to do with the way you compile and link your code. Maybe you can shed some light on how you do that?

This wikiHow teaches you how to run files in Linux. You can run most files using a file manager program. Most Linux distributions have a default File Manager that comes pre-installed. You can also use the Terminal to run a file in Linux. This is the preferred method for running «.run», «.sh», and «.bin» files.

Using a File Manager

Image titled Run Files in Linux Step 1

  • If you are not sure where to locate your file browser app, you can press the Super (Windows) key and type «Files» (or the name of the file manager) in the search bar.
  • If you don’t like the file manager that came with your Linux distribution, you can install a different file manager in the Terminal. To do so on Debian/Ubuntu, open the Terminal and type sudo apt install and press Enter. On Fedora, open the Terminal and type sudo dnf install and press Enter. Replace «» with the name of the app you want to install. [2] X Research source

  • If you don’t see the application you use to run the file, click View All Applications or Other. This displays a list of all installed apps categorized by type. Click the category of the app you want to run the file in. Then double-click the app you want to run the file in.

Using the Terminal
