Looks like the file does not have permission to execute it:

chmod +x JES.sh

    Alright so I installed Ubuntu last night and I am very new to everything.

    Right now I am trying to run a program called JES, (Jython Environment for Students). The instructions tell me to cd to the JES directory I have, so I type

    cd /home/Programs/JES
    

    It takes me to the directory I need to be in, so far so good. Then I have to type in:

    ./JES.sh
    

    And I get this returned to me:

    bash: ./JES.sh: Permission denied
    

    I have very little comprehension of what to do in Terminal or anything of the sort. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have tried using

    sudo -l
    

    to get permissions but it still persists.
