First off all, check _what_ kind of file it is.
% file <filename>
If it's a Bourne shell script, run
% sh <filename>
If it's a binary that runs on FreeBSD, run
% chmod +x <filename>
% ./<filename>
The .bin seems to indicate that it is a binary file,
so the 3rd method mentioned should apply. If you need
root privileges for the installation process, use su
or sudo / super / ... according to your preferences.
