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
