ubuntu install?

[BabaG]

i can't find anything on how to install nconvert on my ubuntu laptop. i've extracted the
file i downloaded and see what appears to be an executable but no info on how to or
where to place this file on ubuntu. can someone guide me through this? where do i cp
this file to? do i need to do anything after that? chmod?

i tried cp to /usr/bin but, when i try to test it by doing a conversion, i get:

Permission denied

thanks for any help,
BabaG

got it working. don't know if it's in the right place but i did get it working. eequired a
change of permissions:

chmod -R 755 /usr/bin/nconvert

With another linux, I use /usr/local/bin for programs and scripts- to help distinguish them from ones built into OS.
Also, it is possible to run files without installation from a /home/user/folder (with permissions set as executable)
./programname
./scriptname
or
sh scriptname
