How do you run Scheme programs from the terminal in linux(ubuntu)? Also how to accept arguments from the command-line in a Scheme program?

It is not standardized in the R6RS. There is a recommendation SRFI-22, which some interpreters support. If your interpreter does not support SRFI-22 then it depends on your implementation.

Below is an example from the SRFI. It assumes your interpreter is a binary named scheme-r5rs. Basically it calls a function named main with a single arg that is a list of command line args.

#! /usr/bin/env scheme-r5rs

(define (main arguments)
  (for-each display-file (cdr arguments))
  0)

(define (display-file filename)
  (call-with-input-file filename
    (lambda (port)
      (let loop ()
    (let ((thing (read-char port)))
      (if (not (eof-object? thing))
          (begin
        (write-char thing)
        (loop))))))))
