I've recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 on a Lenovo Thinkpad. I have an Epson Perfection 1240u Photo scanner with a backlit film adaptor and I want to get it running. I've downloaded the software recommended by Epson (iscan-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb) and extracted the files which are sitting in my downloads folder. I've tried running sudo ./install.sh, as per the instructions here:
and here:
but all I get is 'command not found'. Could someone please explain to me - in the simplest terms possible please as I'm a complete novice and therefore don't understand most of the terminology - what I need to do to install this software?

You've downloaded iscan-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb.tar.gz file.
It is an archive that contains iscan-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb directory.
Extract that directory to your Home folder.
Then run in a terminal
cd iscan-bundle-2.30.4.x64.deb
sudo ./install.sh
