Welcome to LQ! The easiest way is to untar the codec file

Code:

tar zxvf <name of file>.tar.gz

Then enter the new directory

Code:

cd <directory name>

Then copy all the files inside this directory to the codec directory. I believe Linpus uses sudo, so

Code:

sudo cp * /usr/lib/codecs/

<enter your password>

If Linpus doesn't use sudo, just do

Code:

su

<enter root password>

cp * /usr/lib/codecs/

exit

You will need to be in a terminal to do all these commands.
