Sometimes you may need to install software (most often a game) which has been packaged as a .run file. These files contain the software and a small program to install the software. See below for an example of how a .run file looks:

Follow the procedure below to install software packaged in a .run file:

1. Find the .run file in the File Browser
2. Right-click the file and select Properties
3. Under the Permissions tab, make sure that Allow executing file as program is ticked and press Close
4. Double-click the .run file to open it. A dialog box should appear
5. Press Run in Terminal to run the installer
6. A Terminal window will open. Follow any instructions on-screen to install the program

Note: Once you have started the installer, it may take a while to display an installation screen. This is normally due to the installer extracting all of the files from the .run file ready for use.

Cool.

I have done installings in Ubuntu like this.

Great for newbies.
