I'm trying to install a program, with extension *.linux64. I'm using a linux machine with x86-64 architecture.

However, when I run ./program.linux64, I receive:

./program.linux64: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

I changed the file permissions to chmod 777 thinking that the problem were the permission, thus now with ls -l, I have:

-rwxrwxrwx .... program.linux64

But I still have the same error; how can I install this program?

NOTE: the file is not compressed (I cannot unzip or tar it)

UPDATE (from comments):

Running file on it says it's "data":

$ file program.linux64

program.linux64: data

Running hexdump -C program.linux64 | head -8, it returns:

When file says it's data (you've posted in a comment that it does), it basically means that it's not a file that file recognises, especially it's not an executable or compressed with an known (to file) algorithm. You'll have to go back to where you got that file and see if they have any instructions.
