star office and .bin files

[Extreme Newbie]

I am a total newbie to Linux and Unix so I apologize for the basic level of this question.

I have downloaded Star Office and the file is has a .bin extension on it (so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin). What do I do with this file? How do I install from the binary?

First make it executable with

chmod a+x so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin

then run it with

./so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
