If you're talking .exe files, you don't. Those are windows only.

if you CD to the directory the script is in (ie cd PATH) you can execute it by typing ./script.sh

If you're talking .exe files, you don't. Those are windows only.

If you install wine, you can run windows executables and that also includes Blockland.

Its not that. Basically what wine does is it has the dll files that windows would have, but work for linux, and use them to run the executable as if it were a normal linux application.
