How to execute a shell script in Linux

To execute a shell script in Linux, follow these steps:

1. Make the script executable by running the following command:

chmod +x script.sh

Replace script.sh with the name of your script.

2. Run the script by typing its name followed by ./, like this:

./script.sh

For example, if the name of your script is myscript.sh, you would run the following command:

./myscript.sh

Alternatively, you can specify the interpreter to use to run the script by adding a shebang line at the top of the script. A shebang line is a line that begins with #! followed by the path to the interpreter. For example, to run a Bash script, you would add the following shebang line at the top of the script:

#!/bin/bash

You can then run the script by simply typing its name:

./script.sh

Keep in mind that you will need to have the correct permissions and access to the script in order to execute it.
