How to execute an .sh file [duplicate]

I'm trying to install a driver using a shell file:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ ls android_ref_codes_JB_4.2 btcoex install.sh WiFi_Direct_User_Interface android_ref_codes_KK_4.4 document readme.txt wireless_tools android_ref_codes_L_5.0 driver ReleaseNotes.pdf wpa_supplicant_hostapd 

Then:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ install.sh install.sh: command not found 

Fair enough:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ ./install.sh bash: ./install.sh: Permission denied 

How about this:

yoav@yoav-System:~/Documents/WIFI_DRIVER$ sudo ./install.sh sudo: ./install.sh: command not found 

What am I doing wrong?

It may turn out that the script does not have executable permission.

1.Make the script executable using

sudo chmod +x install.sh 

2.Run the script using

./install.sh 

If you get an error indicating bash: ./install.sh: Permission denied' , run the command with elevated privileges

sudo ./install.sh
