That looks a lot like the response from a run dialogue. If you want to
run the installer from there you need to specify the full path to
it. ./ is a way of running executables that are in the current
directory. 

I don't know what the installer mentioned actually does. If it has a
text interface then you will need to run it in a terminal (either start
a terminal, navigate to the directory containing it and
enter ./BtRLDemoInstaller.run or use the run dialogue giving the full
path the the installer and checking the run in terminal option) If it
has a graphical interface then just specifying the full path in the run
dialogue should get it going. 

One other thing you'll have to do is make sure the installer has the
executable permission set, which it wouldn't normally have when
downloaded. You can set the executable permissions with your file
manager of choice or the chmod command (something along the lines of
'chmod u+x BtRLDemoInstaller.run' in the directory containing the
installer).
