You either need to burn it to a CD as an ISO image or you can mount it from a terminal.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

cd ~/M
sudo mkdir /media/iso
sudo mount -t iso9660 MetalofHonor.iso /media/iso -o loop
cd /media/iso
and see if there is a install.run or something similar to that to either run it or install it.

You need to change the permissions to include an executable and then run it.


chmod 755 filename.run
./filename.run
Assuming you are in the directory where filename.run is located.
