The .sh extension is often used for shell scripts. The best way to run one is to open a terminal, navigate to the directory where the script is, and do either of the following:

./filename.sh
sh filename.sh

A .sh extension means that the file is a shell script. Open up a terminal, move to the directory that contains the .sh file, and type

./file.sh

Obviously replace file.sh with the actual file name.

EDIT: Sorry I wrote that about 30 mins ago, and only got round to posting it now, which is why it contains exactly the same info as Zelmo's post. Sorry.
