noob problem installing

[calculator]

just to clarify - what exactly is it that i am running? the .bin file? Is the bin file like a directory of commands and libraries or something?

If i enter /home/myname/documents/hashcat/hashcat-cli64.bin - it tells me "too many levels of symbolic links

i assumed the command ln -s /home/myname/documents/hashcat/hashcat-cli64.bin /home/myname/documents/hashcat/hashcat (as per the linked guides instructions) was to create a link so that when i typed "hashcat" it actually ran the .bin file but nothing seems to work regardless of whether i use a direct path or this link stuff
