You can only run files when they are set to Executable. The easiest way 
to do this is to get the properties of the file you downloaded and set 
it there. As it is possible you will have to be root to install the 
application you can just as well open a terminal window, get root 
priviliges through the "su" command and then do "chmod 777 [filename]".
that's:
- su (will ask for the root or user password, depending on the distribution)
- chmod 777 [filename] (replace [filename] with the filename)
you can then run the command. Many times you will have to precede it with ./
