How to open a RUN file
To execute a RUN file on Linux:
If you receive a "permission denied" error after performing steps 2 or 3, you can try adding sudo to the beginning of the commands referenced in those steps (e.g. sudo ./yourfilename.run ). Adding sudo should give you permission to perform those commands.
Warning
Because RUN files install software, do not execute a RUN file unless you trust the file's source. Installing an unverified RUN file, especially using the sudo command, could alter or damage your PC.
