LOL, no offence but if you cant run a .run file you will have a experience to say the least using MSF especially in its preffered format which is the MSF CLI or MSFconsole. You might want to learn some more Linux first.
Anyways a .run file is run as
orCode:sh ./file<name>.run
./ presumes you are in the files location.Code:sudo ./<filename>.run
If you want to learn and play with it you are better off downloading the BT 5 R3 .iso and playing with it in a VM or live CD as it is already configured.
If not then read this http://www.darkoperator.com/installi...loit-in-ubunt/
and the free offensive security course on it here http://www.offensive-security.com/me...d/Introduction

I know quite a bit about Linux I just haven't come upon a .run file before.
Thanks

I think that you actually need to run that file with ./filename.run
It may work with sh filename.run but in case you get some executable script which isn't a bash script, you can get in troubles. The thing is that the first line of such scripts usually is something like #!/usr/bin/pythoon or #!/bin/sh which tells "the system" which interpreter to use. So chmod +x and just ./filename.run is maybe a better choice.
That is why I gave both options
Anyways to the OP you can read there instructions at their official docs here https://community.rapid7.com/docs/DOC-1293
and specifically for Ubuntu using the binary here https://community.rapid7.com/docs/DOC-1296
