If you're looking for specific advice on how to install it, the first thing to do is to check what *sort* of file it is. You can do this using the `file` command. But from the "run" suffix, I'm guessing it's an installer script. You would need to check that it is executable by running `ls -l`, or make it so using `chmod +x` I don't know Maple: you may or may not be able to install it in a template. If it is intended to be installed in the home directory, then you should run it in /etc/skel in the template and install it there. Then it will appear in the /home/user directory in qubes created from that template. Otherwise install it in the home directory in a qube. You can always clone that to other qubes.
