OK, technically you already have jam
inside the folder you have another folder called bin.linuxx86 which contains jam
all you have to do now is to tell your computer where to find jam
(or call /home/your-name/jam2/bin.linuxx86/jam every time you want to use jam)
there are a bunch of ways to do this, my personal favorite is to just make a directory inside your home directory called bin
mkdir /home/your-name/bin
and then copy all the stuff in the jam/bin.linuxx86 folder into your new bin directory
then, in your .bashrc or .bash_profile file in your home directory, add the bin directory to your Path
you should have something that says
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
if you don't then add it.
