Installing a .run file in Linux - linux

I am using Linux Mint 19. I am working on the TI 15.4 Stack - Linux Gateway Project Zero. I am on task 3, Install the TI-15.4 Stack Linux Gateway SDK.
I installed this file by following the link:
ti154stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run
and through the Linux terminal I navigated to the folder where the above file is installed, and I put the following commands in the terminal as stated per the instructions:
chmod +x ti15.4stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run ./ti15.4stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run
and this is what I got :
$ chmod +x ti15.4stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run ./ti15.4stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run
chmod: cannot access 'ti15.4stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access './ti15.4stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run': No such file or directory
I copied the file name it is ti154stack_linux_x64_2_08_00_04.run .
I would appreciate it if you can write them in 2 seperate commands if that is how you think they need to be entered. Here is what I get after performing ls

Opening AppImage does nothing. What can I do?

I am a complete newbie to Linux and trying to open an AppImage called Magick which is an Imagemagick application.
I tried right clicking on the AppImage and checked "run file as an executable" option but that didn't work. Another thing that I tried is running this command,
chmod a+x magick.AppImage
This gives me an error,
chmod: cannot access 'magick.AppImage': No such file or directory
I have also tried running the file by navigating into the folder that contains the file and opening up the terminal there but still no luck.
I am running Ubuntu on Oracle VM VirtualBox.
ImageMagick is a command-line tool, you don't run it by clicking on it.
To run it in a terminal you need to
Set the executable flag on the .AppImage (once for all): chmod +x TheApp.AppImage
Then to run it just invoke the AppImage: ./TheApp.AppImage <arg1> <arg2> ....
If the directory with your .AppImage is in your PATH, you can remove the ./ (or whatever directory the AppImage is in).
ImageMagick is also available as a regular application from your Ubuntu repository: sudo apt install imagemagick

Cytoscape and linux

Trying to install Cytoscape program on linux cytoscape. And I don't know how because first install button transfers me to HTML page and nothing is downloadable. (I have java installed). I tried to download tar.gz file but I am stuck, because there is no configure file and it says I have no permission for it. What should I do?
Once java 11 is installed on your computer try this:
ctrl+alt+T #open Ubuntu's console
cd /home/fulanita/Downloads #this is the directory where my computer has cytoscape.
chmod +x ./Cytoscape_3_8_1_unix.sh
./Cytoscape_3_8_1_unix.sh #3.8.1 is the last version for Ubuntu
the program will start to install
If anyone comes here in search for an answer I found a solution.
You go to you directory where you keep extracted tar.gz
with cd -Folderdestination/ you locate a folderwhere you keep a file named cytoscape.sh, and with command
sudo sh cytoscape.sh
install the program.

Permissions Error in Perl Script for Linux

I'm trying to install the Touchmouse server for Linux. The software is a perl script that I have tried to run via terminal, using the perl command. The software I'm trying to run is here: https://github.com/mycroes/touchmoused
This is the output from terminal:
:~/Desktop/touchmoused-master$ perl touchmoused
Can't open /dev/uinput: Permission denied at touchmoused line 242.
:~/Desktop/touchmoused-master$ Established under name '<name of computer>'
I am new to Linux but have some experience with Terminal.
Thanks!
From the creator of the script:
Just download it, chmod +x and run it (as root, it needs access to /dev/uinput and it wants to register with avahi).
Regards,
http://blog.mycroes.nl/2011/04/touchmoused-logitech-touch-mouse-server.html
Your user won't have permissions for /dev/uinput, also check that /dev/uinput is the correct location for your distribution, the script allows you to override this with the -device flag.
So either make it executable so you don't have to enter 'perl' and then run with sudo or have root run it on startup.

Running ffmpeg in Terminal Linux

I've downloaded and unzipped ffmpeg at custom directory in my Ubuntu linux. Now I want to run this ffmpeg using terminal like I run on windows using command prompt. But everytime it says "ffmpeg: command not found". My question is how can I run ffmpeg using terminal through extracted libraries
thanks
First you need to make sure the file has execute permissions... or just add it with chmod +x filename
Secondly either the executables must be on the path or you need to specify the path to the executable. What I mean by this is, under Windows if you are in a directory with an executable you can type in the executable name and it will work... this is not the case for Linux. If you are in the executable's directory you execute the command like this ./command. The dot means you are executing a file in the current directory
