chmod + x  --> this will give the file the execution permission.

so, for instance, lets assume your file is in Documents:
in terminal write ->

cd Documents

Now that you are in the right directory (same as the file), you give it:

chmod + x file.sh

and then you run it

./file.sh

TIP: you can drag your file with the mouse to your terminal, which is equivalent of writing its full path:

/home/evrjo/Documents/file.sh


Usually running an application from terminal is excellent for troubleshooting and finding out why it won't start. I assume it is because the file is missing the permission the execute. If not, tell us the error output.
