Opening SH files in RedHat

[Evolution]

I just downloaded Quake3Demo for Linux and I want to install it, how do I open an .sh file?? Then can I do a ./configure, then make, then make install, or what?

.shes are typically scripts. ./install.sh (or whatever) to run it, if you gave it the proper permissions.

crap I dont have permission, what do I do now? I typed this in the terminal under root "./linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh" and I got a permission denied
