If you are on a desktop version of Ubuntu, you can right-click on the file icon, click the permissions tab and click on "allow execution". If you are on a server copy without the desktop bells and whistles (or you would rather work with a command line in a terminal window), then do the following:
sudo chmod +x myProgram.bin
after you enter your password and get the prompt back type:
./myProgram.bin
