Just cd to where it is and type:

./*.bin

If it give you an error about permissions tyr again but first type:

chmod +x *.bin

You'll need to be root to set it up system wide, not so for individual
user. Also, you might want to move it to en empty directory before doing
anything because I _think_ the bin file unpacks to one or more files and
having it in another directory by itself makes it easy to work with and
delete the leftover files if needed/
