(Probably this is a very naive question, but) I'm trying to download Icy in ubuntu and a .exe file is downloaded with this link. From my understanding this is a format for Windows, and from -previous post in this forum- I can see other people refers to a .sh version available.

My question is, if there is a problem within the link or do I need to use Wine to work with Icy in Ubuntu? I'm strongly suspecting I'm omitting something very simple since with the previous Linux versions also .exe files are downloaded.

Best,

Ok, I am not an expert on Linux, but I think I can help. On the ICY folder there is a icy file (not the icy.exe) . Right click this file then go to properties and then permissions. Allow the file to be executed as a program. Now you can click the file to open the program.
