What Does That Even Mean?
Linux has script files as well as executable program files that are meant to be marked as executable but sometimes are not. What that means is instead of clicking and having the application start, you click and have a text editor open or something similar. This is easily fixed and you can go about it one of two ways.
How Do I Do It?
In order to make a file executable, you can either open up the Terminal and type,
chown +x filenamehere
Or you can open up a file manager, navigate to that file, then right click it and select Properties. Click the Permissions tab and check Allow executing file as program. This does the same thing as the above command but you do not have to use the Terminal.
