Which file or package do you intend to install on porteus? Are you talking about installing the nvidia driver?

If you have downloaded the file in the /home/guest/Download folder, try in terminal:
cd /home/guest/Download (to position yourself in the right foler)
ls (this will give you the exact name of the .run file)
./the-name-of-the-file.run
With luck this will work. However, there might be some prerequisites to run modo. They should appear in the readme or install file.

Re: how to create module from ( .run )
.run files are the worst as they do not support DESTDIR. try 'changes-time' as per:

Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

A .run file is likely a packages file that will install it's files into the appropriate directories. In this case you can run the file and then as Fanthom suggested run changes-time from a CLI which will track all files installed and copy them into a temp folder at /root/changes*.
The other type is a package file that contains all the runtime static libraries in one folder. For this you will need to extract the file. Try running the file like this: name-of-file.run --help
This will give you options available. Look for the option to extract the file. You may even be able to 'list' the files to know them, then run the file. While it is running there will be a temporary folder extract somewhere (maybe in /tmp maybe in the same folder as it is run) and you can copy the files from the list command.
Hope that explains things.
