Is this file a Windows executable? Are you sure you have execution permissions on the file (chmod +x yourfile)?

chmod changes the permissions of a given file. There he's saying 'Give ___ permission to execute' (you've also got: 'read' and 'write').

What type of file is it? Right-click on it, select 'Get Info' and tell us what it is. It may need the help of an application to run/open it.

Its suppose to be an installation file for me to to install the program pro tools. and it tells me i only have the option to read. There is no file extension on the end of the file.
