First off all, check _what_ kind of file it is.

% file 

If it's a Bourne shell script, run

% sh 

If it's a binary that runs on FreeBSD, run

% chmod +x 
% ./

The .bin seems to indicate that it is a binary file,
so the 3rd method mentioned should apply. If you need
root privileges for the installation process, use su
or sudo / super / ... according to your preferences.

Installing .bin file?

[Andy Wodfer]

On one of my old servers I'm running FreeBSD 6.3 and I'm having some disk
problems. The "raid" card is a Promise TX4310 and I'd like to install Webpam
(
http://firstweb.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=136&category=utility&os=100&go=GO)
to swap + rebuild two broken disks and to have an overview via a webgui.

So, I download *WebPAM for
FreeBSD*,
unrar it and find a .bin file inside.

How do I install a .bin file on FreeBSD? I'm used to makefiles etc.

Thanks for any help!

Best,
Andy
