Problem opening a file without an extension

I have downloaded a file called MultiMC. I'm used to windows where everything needs a file extension to run. The thing about this file is, it has no file extension. According to the instructions, I'm to mark it as an executable and then double click it. so I marked it and double clicked it and nothing happened. I tried spam clicking it, which did nothing in the end. I'm using the latest dev build of Ubuntu and I know for a fact other people are using this program on Ubuntu as well. I have do idea how to use terminal properly. please tell me what I'm doing wrong and please simplify it as much as possible. Thanks!

The Minecraft MultiMC package requires python-wxgtk2.8 as a dependency. To install python-wxgtk2.8, open the terminal (search for terminal in the Dash and click on the terminal icon) and type:

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8

python-wxgtk2.8 has been upgraded in Ubuntu 16.04 to python-wxgtk3.0

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk3.0
