How do I flash RasPlex to an SD card from Ubuntu? [closed]
I'm trying to install RasPlex for my Raspberry Pi 3. When I downloaded the file to flash, it came in a .bin file and the instructions are very weak. So I now have a .bin file and not a clue on how to flash it to my SD card. How do I flash this bin file to the SD card?

Try to give it execution permissions and execute it.sudo +x <yourbinfile.bin>; sudo ./<yourbinfile.bin>.

What is "the instructions are very weak"? Perhaps they won't look "week" to someone else, so why not elaborate?

Download an img image file from official github:
https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/releases
Then flash your SD card:
unzip image_name.img.gz
blkid # find out what device you want to flash to, /dev/sdX
dd if=image_name.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1MB #BE VERY CAREFUL you select the right value for X
For more information, see the official documentation, Manual Installation Instructions
