The .\Sigil ... part is important
and even more important to use forward slashes (/).

here's how I install:

1) download the correct file, linux OS and either 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.

2) Open a terminal session (command prompt) in the directory where the Sigil install file is. (Let's assume the file is Sigil-0.5.3-Linux-x86-Setup.bin )

3) make it executable: sudo chmod 777 Sigil-0.5.3*.bin

4) run it: sudo ./Sigil-0.5.3*.bin

5) follow the prompts to complete the installation. Usually for a system-wide installation it is installed in /opt/sigil but you could install it under your home directory if you want.

HTH.
