It may be you dont need to install the file.
Try typing "./yourbinfile" when you stand in the same directory as your
file.
Also try the command "file yourbinfile".
I also suggest reading:
http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/index.html
and very useful:
apt-get install newbiedoc
after you have done that try
dpkg -L newbiedoc |more
to see what you can read.
Happy reading
