> What is a .bin file

It's usually just a self extracting/installing program. You just run it
(probably as root), and it will install/extract itself.

N.B. you might want to copy the file to a new directory first, just in case it
installs in place - makes it much easier to move the files to where you want
them.

e.g.
mkdir newprog
cd newprog
mv /path/to/newprog.bin .
./newprog.bin


.bin just means binary, AFAIK
