How to install .bin files?

So I recently a got new laptop with suse linux enterprise desktop 10 and everything is pretty much foreign to me. I’m trying to install a Java sdk but the only download is a .bin file, does anyone know how to install them?

A couple options will probably work:

sh ./jre_install_file.bin

or

chmod +x ./jre_install_file.bin
…/jre_install_file.bin

Good luck.
