Don't know Maple specifically, but if it's like most packages, you qvm-copy it to the template, then install it there. Be aware it will then be "installed" in all AppVMs based on that template.
Please note that Fedora 30 reached EOL a long time ago:
And Fedora 31 is also approaching EOL:
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.
When you've determined the best approach, please document it here so
other users can benefit from your experience.
Thank you for your advices.
In case you would like to know, here is a description of the application called “Maple”: https://maplesoft.com/products/Maple/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple
Regarding the “Fedora-30 template”, if it has ended it’s life long time ago, then why is it still the template version in Qubes R4.0.3 or is it just the shown name of the template in the Qubes Applicatons menu ?
Do I understand you correctly “unman”, that I can choose to either install the application in a template or just in a AppVM, and if so how do I only install it in a AppVM ?

What makes the difference between if an application can and cannot be installed only in a AppVM ?

Can I then open a terminal and view the script-file in nano and try to see if it installs a package or place data anywhere else to determine if it’s possible to only install it in a AppVM, or is it possible that it isn’t written in the installer script that it puts data somewhere else ?

Yes - example - Matlab has an installer file that gives you the option
to choose destination. If /opt then it has to go in TemplateVM; but if
you choose somewhere in /home/user you can install in to an AppVM,
since *that* will persist across reboots.
The choice there comes as option in install process.
You quite likely *will* be able to see this in the script.
Since I'm just a bodger at heart, I would go ahead and run the script in
a Template based qube, and see what happens. If you get the option well
and good; if not you've learnt something in exchange for a few
minutes of your time.
Doing this will *also* allow you to see what packages you may
additionally need to install, so that's a bonus too.
