BIN (Binary Files)


.bin means "binary", and generally means "executable".

If you have a .bin file you want to execute try clicking on. If that does nothing, open a terminal in the same directory, and type:

./<name>.bin

Where <name> is the .bin for example....
./firefox.bin

If something necessary is missing from your system, the error messages in the terminal will tell you what, and where it goes....
