answer question, archive downloaded link extractable folder same name , folder contains file called install.sh. make shell script executable either command chmod +x path/to/install.sh or using right click in nautilus ->properties. should run shell script folder double clicking , selecting "run in terminal" or command ./install.sh folder in. not sure if script ask run root, or if need run start sudo try first normal user.
