Question : what's up with the linux binary having a .exe extension ? #78

First time seeing that, it seems confusing (I almost thought there was no Linux binary available at first). Maybe there is a reason and I'm missing something ?

Yeah, it's weird. I can't remember why I did it this way, but I swear there was some reason.

Anyway, I think this is now moot thanks to https://github.com/filiph/linkcheck/issues/77.

Hey, so how do I run it if I put it into a directory in Linux? Thanks in advance. Failing that, how would I clone from Github and run that way?

Hi, you should be able to run it normally. Let's say you donwloaded a file like linkcheck-linux.exe.

You'd then do:

$ ./linkcheck-linux.exe

You might need to do chmod +x linkcheck-linux.exe first, but I think the binary comes as an executable already. Let me know if you hit a snag.
