Sometimes the Linux Installer is not executable after it is downloaded due to changes made by various virus scanners. To change this, open a terminal window and change to the directory where the installer was downloaded. Run the command:
>chmod 777 jmars-public_setup_linux
Now you should be able to run the installer from either the terminal window or your desktop environment.
