how to exacute a .run file
 

how do u exacute a .run file?

This will work if the file actually is a binary executable:
set the execute permission with "chmod".
If you own the file, this can be something like:
chmod o+x the_file.run
(you 'll need to add the path to the file if it's not in the current directory).

To determine the file type, use the "file" command.
file the_file.run

And if you don't want to chmod it just use
sh .run

And while you're learning: there's a spell-checker, too,
a single click (for your convenience).

Never seen a file with extension ".run". Where did you get this?

Execution of a file first requires that it be an "executable"---typically a binary or a shell script.

If it is the $PATH, then you just type the filename. Otherwise, you need an absolute or relative pathname, eg:
./filename if you are in the same directory
/dir/dir/filename from anywhere

You also have to have execute privileges on the file---this is set with chmod

There's the NVidia binary drivers for one...
