What linux distro do you recommend?

ok, I have an ubuntu server 64bit installed on my usb drive without gui. How do I run or install hashcat? I tried extracting the hashcat-cli.bin, but it says "unknown suffix -- ignored". I also tried copying the .bin to "/bin", and running it but it just says "-bash: /bin/hashcat-cli.bin: No such file or directory" although I can clearly tell that the file is there by running ls.
