Re: How do I install a bin file?

How can I install a bin file from a terminal? I have GoogleEarth and I
tried installing it with the Package Manager before but though it seemed
to install would never show up anywhere as an app to run. I can find a
lot of various files when I unpack the downloaded bin file, but I have
no idea how to run them, or even what to run. Does anyone here use
GoogleEarth? I tried signing up for the GoogleEarth help list, but the
advice I got was next to useless - I could never find the files where
people said they were.

I'm stumped. I'd like to use GoogleEarth, but it looks like I should
have kept my Windows partition to do so.

How do I install Google Earth on Linux machines?

You can download and install Google Earth for Linux by following these

2. Click on the "Linux" radio button under the category Beta (Version
4), and select "Download Google Earth."
3. Open a terminal window/console and navigate to your default downloads
directory. Enter the following command in the directory: > sh
GoogleEarthLinux.bin
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. The default location
for the program is "/usr/local/google/google-earth." If Google Earth was
installed in its default location, you can launch it using the following
command: > /usr/local/google/google-earth/googleearth
