In graphical file browser:
  1. navigate to your script and select it.
  2. make it executable in Properties - most likely by right clicking
on said script
  3. click or double click on your script should run it (depending on
your file browser)
On command line:
  1. cd yourScriptDirectory
  2. make the script executable by: chmod u+x yourScriptName
  3. Execute the script by: ./yourScriptName
How to write script to execute is another matter most likely for
Google/....
Hope that this is what you were looking for,
