I got curious and ran Tails in a VM to test this. It is indeed 32-bit, but, for some reason, I got a different (and more descriptive) error when trying to run the 64-bit executable: bash: ./blender: cannot execute binary file. In any case, 32-bit Blender worked as expected with no error.

| Jun 18, 2015 at 2:00 | comment | added | TARDIS Maker | @catlover2 If you look at ls command above, you'll see that it's a 64bit version of Blender. You should write up an answer. | |

Also check that the filesystem containing the blender executable isn't mounted with the noexec option.

Made title more specific, removed [installation] tag, reformatted console output.

@Jonathan Could you post the output of uname -a and file ./blender? The Tails download page only has 32-bit images as far as I can tell, so it might be that you need to use the 32-bit version of Blender.

Linux doesn't have .exe files (that's a windows/dos convention). blender is a binary executable (pretty much a .exe file for linux). As to why bash thinks it's missing, thats really weird..

| Jun 17, 2015 at 21:40 | comment | added | Jonathan | @gandalf3 blender has '-rwxr-xr-x'. Btw I was confused to see in text and video tutorials that one just has to start the exe from the folder because I remember Linux not to be able to use .exe but with "wine". Trying to open the executable(mouse click on file) does not do anything either. | |

Does the blender executable actually have execute permissions? Try running ls -l, blender should have something like rwxr-xr-x next to it. (at least the x's)
