I have tried right clicking on the file selecting properties and then the permissions tab and setting it to execute. However, when I double click the file it opens in gedit. What do I do?

To run your script by double clicking on its icon, you will need to create a .desktop
file for it:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=My script
Comment=Test hello world script
Exec=/home/user/yourscript.sh
Icon=/home/user/youricon.gif
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Save the above as a file on your Desktop with a .desktop
extension. Change /home/user/yourscript.sh
and /home/user/youricon.gif
to the paths of your script and whichever icon you want it ot have respectively and then you'll be able to launch by double clicking it.
Specifically, for your situation, you need to do:
Create a script that runs mono LOIC.exe
. To do so, create a new text file with these contents:
#!/bin/bash
mono /home/logan/.loic/LOIC.exe
Save this as /home/locan/run_loic.sh
and then run this command to make it executable (or right click => properties and choose "Allow executing file as program"):
chmod +x /home/logan/.loic/LOIC.exe
Create a .desktop
file that launches that script. Create a new text file on your Desktop called run_loic.desktop
with these contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Run LOIC
Comment=Run LOIC
Exec=/home/logan/run_loic.sh
Icon=
Terminal=false
Type=Application
