Q:

XAMPP and Blender isn't running

I'm trying to install XAMPP server and Blender on my PC (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) and whenever I try and open it, it just doesn't open.. so I thought "ok fair enough, let's do this the hard way" and did it through terminal.. I did all the commands etc. and after clicking enter it just drops to a new line.. no "invalid syntax" malaki.
I'm guessing it's not my machine that's the problem so how do I fix this?

A:

Forgot to update everyone: To run them, go to Terminal, Change directory to the one with the file inside (for me /Desktop/) and do ./filename and it opens. Hope this helps anyone :D
