I'm trying to install this application called HandBrake and once I download it, and unzip it, it gives me this executable file and I can't find a way to run it.

Can someone help me?( I'm kind of new to Ubuntu so I need more details)

On Linux, files are generally run with the "./" command from a command terminal.

./executable

You may need to stick the "sudo" command infront of it if it does not have permission to run.
