makeself.sh is a small shell script that generates a selfextractable tar.gz archive from a directory. the resulting file appears as a shell script (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is. the archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an optional arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). this is pretty similar to archives generated with winzip selfextractor in the windows world. makeself archives also include checksums for integrity selfvalidation (crc and/or md5 checksums).
