Hello FlinkL.n00b !

To install software, you have to download these archived packages. After you decompress them you have to compile the programm and install it. Usually there is a readme.txt or an INSTALL file where the developer of that product wrote everything how to install.

The easiest way to do this:
extract arhive
cd to/new/directory
./compile
make
make install

Good luck!
