Follow the procedure below to install software packaged in a .run file:
Find the .run file in the File Browser
Right-click the file and select Properties
Under the Permissions tab, make sure that Allow executing file as program is ticked and press Close
Double-click the .run file to open it. A dialog box should appear
Press Run in Terminal to run the installer
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.
