The fast way on the command line:

sh bla.run

Or the convenient way:

give the file execute privilege (propably somwhere on the right click menu - I don't use GNOME)
do what the name suggest -> run it by clicking on it

you need to do "chmod +x aa-install.run" and then "sudo ./aa-install.run"

That means that it has run successfully. I guess you might have to check for the executable next. Did you get any README with the file. It would most probably tell you which executable to look for !
