How to execute an .sh file [duplicate]

I'm trying to install a driver using a shell file:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ ls
android_ref_codes_JB_4.2 btcoex install.sh WiFi_Direct_User_Interface
android_ref_codes_KK_4.4 document readme.txt wireless_tools
android_ref_codes_L_5.0 driver ReleaseNotes.pdf wpa_supplicant_hostapd

Then:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ install.sh
install.sh: command not found

Fair enough:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ ./install.sh
bash: ./install.sh: Permission denied

How about this:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ sudo ./install.sh
sudo: ./install.sh: command not found

What am I doing wrong?

It may turn out that the script does not have executable permission.

1.Make the script executable using

sudo chmod +x install.sh

2.Run the script using

./install.sh

If you get an error indicating bash: ./install.sh: Permission denied' , run the command with elevated privileges

sudo ./install.sh
