Use sh before the file name eg;
You could also make it executable and then execute like this;Code:sh googleearth.bin
--Code:chmod 755 googleearth.bin ../googleearth.bin

depends on what it is. Some can be run by making them executable,some can be installed via CLI & some just copy/paste to the location. What is the file name ?

when I use sh and the files name it says that there is no such file. What do I do in that case?
Maybe it would help if you knew a little more.
I need to install Real Player 11 since Kaffine is out of order and Realplayer 10 which Yast tells me is installed but it doesn't start. So I download Realplayer 11 the linux version from their website. Then Firefox saved it as RealPlayer11GOLD.bin on my desktop. If you single click on it ask which program to start with this file. If I look at Properties I find
General
RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
Type: Exacutable File
Location: /home/Mattias/Desktop
Size: 7.5 MB
What do I have to do to get it working?
Why not use the rpm ? it's on their web-page RealPlayer for Linux - the best audio and video player - Real.com

chmod a+x filename.bin to make it executable

Looks like that one needs chmoding
As an aside, I would look at creating a download directory in your homeCode:chmod 755 ../RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
directory for firefox to download too.
