you need to make sure that the file is executable (chmod 755 filename) and than you execute the file such as ./filename.run

Just be aware that installing files from outside the official repository is not advised and may cause breakage of your system.

when you are in the folder where the program is, press "F4" to start the terminal and then type "./*.run" and press enter to run it. If you get a "permission denied" error, right click the file-> properties-> permissions and tick "is executable" field and try again
