and a few post down there is a post about Installing from Sourcecode Articles

the tar.gz files are normally source files (and i definitely prefer to use them if i can)

go into a terminal or console and do a su command to avoid problems, cd into the directory of the extracted files and normally just time ./configure, if not, type Make and then Make install
