Yes, I am aware. I did not argue that is isn't for testing. I said you didn't need to compile it for Mac or Windows, because it's not expected of you to have a CS degree to install it.
WTF is chmod? Execute what? How can you not see that this is a problem?
It is a problem. The fact Windows will just execute anything is an issue. That's right. On Linux you need to tell your system to execute a file. That's what chmod is for. (I think you may be able to do this with a right-click. I'm not sure. You just need to tell your system that a file is an executable and it's allowed to do so.)
