Accepted Answer

To run the file, you first must make it executable.

Extract the file and then open the containing folder in your terminal. Run:

chmod +x ./displaylink-driver-5.3.x.x.run

(Change the name to match the file downloaded.)

Then just run the file from the terminal with:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.3.x.x.run

(Again changing the name to match the file downloaded.)

Enter your password as requested and follow the on-screen prompts.
