I need some advice on running the shell for installing the .run download.
What advice would you like? You don't tell us what version/distro of Linux you're using, but the nVidia site has instructions on how to load drivers.
Typically, you make the file executable ("chmod 755 *.run"), then type in "./filename.run". Replace the filename, obviously, with whatever the name of the file is. Press ENTER.

Gigabyte GA-E350N hasnt got an nVidia GPU in the chipset, its an AMD chipset with AMD video.
*edit- and if you do have an nVida card installed, its always a good idea to list your distro and version. Its IMO better and generally easier to install the drivers from your distros repos.
