installing .run files

[Brittany]

I dont think It's a trojan... it's a game im trying to install a PC game
of which i enjoy playing. the direct path is /home/sambie/Desktop/et-
linux-2.55.x86.run but when i try to put it in the terminal it says
"bash: [sambie at localhost: command not found"

Heres the full message

[root at localhost sambie]# [sambie at localhost sambie]$ /home/sambie/
desktop/et-linux-2.55.x86.run
bash: [sambie at localhost: command not found
