you would move to the directory you downloaded in.
set the file to executable
Code:
chmod +x file.run
then run it(if it needs root permission you use sudo
Code:
./file.run

yeah you execute those commands in the terminal.
for the directory just move to where you have your file.run. if its in your home directory you dont need to move since you are in your home directory when you login.
