If you didn't set a root password then your user account will be a member of sudo.Hello! I installed Debian with KDE Plasma. I didn't set a root password during installation and only created one user. Now, when I try to install the program via the bin file, it says I don't have enough rights. Could you explain why this is happening and how to fix it?
That means that any command that needs root permissions is preceded by sudo.
e.g. sudo apt install <package>
bin files are another kettle of fish altogether.
Normally a downloaded bin file will probably not be executable - so you need to change its permissions.
Right click on the file>properties>permissions>check the Execute box
Then right click in the same folder Go to Tools>Open Terminal Here OR right click in blank space in the folder and go down to Open Terminal Here.
Now, to run the file. That depends a lot on what it is and what you expect it to do.
In Konsole try ./filename.bin
That will do whatever it does in your home area.
sudo ./filename.bin will give the binary access to your operating system which may or may not be a good idea - that's up to you.
