make sure the file you have downloaded is executable.

use: ls -l <filename> to check the permissions on the file. If there are no x's in the first 10 characters, you will need to add execute permissions.

use: chmod u+x <filename>

This will add execute permissions.

From there, just "./<filename>" to execute.

Good luck!
