In linux execution-ability is a right you give to files (as seen on the left
most of 'ls -l', seek the x signs). t's in no way related to an 'extension',
like in other OSes.

 in order to add the execute rights to file use 'sudo chmod +x <filename>'.

there are ways to be more subtile, but it'll work.
