Problems Installing Display Link on Ubuntu 20.04

Hello im having problems trying to install display link on Ubuntu. Im using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ,Kernel Linux 5.4.0-40-generic

Here are the instructions im trying to follow.

And this is what happened.

As soon as i tried to run this command sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.0.xx.run

This was my result. sudo: ./displaylink-driver-5.3.0.xx.run: command not found

then i tried to change 5.3.0.xx to reflect my current Kernel version and i got the same result. which was this

sudo: ./displaylink-driver-5.4.0.40.run: command not found

To run the file, you first must make it executable.

Extract the file and then open the containing folder in your terminal. Run:

chmod +x ./displaylink-driver-5.3.x.x.run

(Change the name to match the file downloaded.)

Then just run the file from the terminal with:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.x.x.run

(Again changing the name to match the file downloaded.)

Enter your password as requested and follow the on-screen prompts.
