    The driver file is a script installer with extension ".run", you
must to execute it
    doing: "sh file.run"

    On this link, you can find some tips about the procedure with the
open driver:

    (It is a little old, but it can give you an idea about the procedure)

    If you want to learn... there is no dumb questions. So, do not worry.
