You'll need to open up a command line. How you do this depends on the
desktop environment. If it's GNOME, click Applications -> Accessories ->
Terminal. In KDE, right click on the destkop and click Konsole. 

Next, you'll need to find where you downloaded the .bin file, usually in
the Desktop subdirectory. 

At the command line, type 

ls Desktop

You should see RealPlayer10GOLD.bin there. Type

cd Desktop

and run the commands as you've listed from the instructions.

Good luck,
Mike
