Really depends on what the file is.

Run the following command:

file filename.bin

It will tell you if it is a shell script, executable, or some other kind
of file.

If it is a shell script you just need to set the execute permissions and
call it from the shell prompt.

If it is a binary data file of some kind you will need to figure out
what tool to use to run it.

It may also just be an executable file.  Again just set the execute
permissions and run it.
