I downloaded a program from the internet. I simply took the file from 'Downloads' and put it on my desktop. I can launch the program by double clicking on it. However I cannot figure out how to start this program from the terminal.
I tried the following without luck or any leads:
./ clipgrab-3.4.2.x86_64sh clipgrab-3.4.2.x86_64- Typed 'alacarte' into the terminal, in an attempt to find the program of interest to locate name which would allow it to open.
- Launched program with terminal open to find any hints
nautilus-autorun-software clipgrab-3.4.2.x86_64
The settings when I right click the program look like this:
I searched all over 'AskUbuntu' but didn't find the answer. I hope you can shed some light.
Thanks in advance.

You have a space between ./ and clipgrab-3.4.2.x86_64. It should run if you type ./clipgrab-3.4.2.x86_64 with no spaces.
