Ubuntu 14.04 Installation Error

[ApacheRon]

I'm unsuccessfully attempting to install XAMPP 5.6.3.0, following instructions from Apachefriends Linux FAQ saying I need to enter the following commands in a Terminal:

Code: Select all

cd Downloads
chmod +x xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run
sudo ./xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run

.. However, the result is:

Code: Select all

./xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run: 1: ./xampp-linux-x64-5.6.3-0-installer.run: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

I downloaded again to be sure I had a clean copy with the same result. Both downloads had the same byte-count.
Any ideas?

You are installing a 64bit installer into a 32bit Ubuntu. That does not work.
