Bodhi Linux is actually an operating system and not a program.
Is the link below what you are referring to "internet scrabble clue"?

http://www.isc.ro/

Were you running it on Bodhi Linux and it stopped functioning? More details on what happened. The link indicates that if you have a previous version you need to uninstall it before trying to install again.

Assuming you're talking about a tarball (a file ending in tar.gz) then open a terminal and use this command:
Code:
tar zxvf <name of file>.tar.gz
If it's a bz2 file then type
Code:
tar jxvf <name of file>.bz2
Oh, and in the future please use a more descriptive title than "please, help"
