Running an executable in Mac Terminal

Question

I just made a .c file and compiled it with gcc in the terminal on OS X 10.8.2.

My syntax was gcc -o and that was fi

Answer 1

To run an executable in mac

1). Move to the path of the file:

cd/PATH_OF_THE_FILE

2). Run the following command to set the file's executable bit using the chmod command:

chmod +x ./NAME_OF_THE_FILE

3). Run the following command to execute the file:

./NAME_OF_THE_FILE

Once you have run these commands, going ahead you just have to run command 3, while in the files path.
