how to install .sh files?

[IG]

i had the installer for my onboard sound in a .gz file.
i used gunzip and now its in .sh format.
how do i install this?

 

[GNUrag]

run the installer using :
$ bash installer.sh

there are other alternatives too, you can add a line like #!/bin/bash in the first line of that .sh file and chmod it to ugo+x and then run it using ./installer.sh
