         It might not be a program that installs anything.  It might be a 
program to run.  So it probably runs in whatever directory you put it in 
and execute it.  Other than that, you would need to read the documentation 
that came with it, read the pages on the website you got it from, ask the 
person you got it from, give us more information...like a link to the 
website you got it from, or being an ".sh" file, it is probably not 
compiled and you can just read the file itself.  Some times the programmer 
will put the documentation in the file itself too.
         Your answer to "how to run?" was already answered.  At the command 
prompt, type "sh example.sh" changing "example.sh" to the actual name of 
the program/file.  Now, if I were you, you better find out what the program 
is suppose to do.  Otherwise, it could delete everything on your hard drive.
