Chromium in Foresight-Mac

The Cross-Over Chromium site provides installation files for various distros (and OS X) but Foresight Linux is not included.
A version of "CrossOver Chromium for all other Linux distros" is, however available and this is what I tried for Foresight.
The installation file is the 35 MB install-cxchromium-0.9.0.sh. I tried various means to get this to install but no luck.
Then I found that it wasn't executable. Once this error was rectified, it was easy to install (as user rather than as root -- some complaints about installing as root) using

./install-cxchromium-0.9.0.sh

from the Desktop directory to which it had been downloaded.
Thereafter, installation and operation was perfect.
