You can still tell us basic things like "I downloaded the file from this
URL", and use ls -l to show us the downloaded filename sitting somewhere
in your $HOME directory.

So "sat" is a directory? Yikes. That directly contradicts the
information from the web site's FAQ. Unless of course you downloaded
a different file than the one it was documenting.
HOW did you get it to work, then, if it isn't a program that can be run?

Read the files named README and INSTALL. Oh wait, the latter is a
directory instead of a file. If README doesn't answer your questions,
look inside the INSTALL directory, and try to find something inside it
that you can read.
If those still don't answer your questions, find a mailing list that
knows this program. Or a web forum, or whatever it is they use for
support.

Yes, that information will be relevant if you end up asking a Salome
support entity for help.
