In a nutshell:
$ unzip /mountpoint/zipfile

I am new to Linux. I have recently installed Red Hat Linux, and i dont know to install any softwares under this.
I got a zip file of the software to be installed in my thumb drive. I dont know where to copy that, where to unzip and how to install.
Please give me the complete steps. I know the basic commands, how to take a terminal etc.
Please help me.
regards,
freak
just open a terminal and type
yum install yumex
this is a GUI for yum and select any application you want and it will download and install them automatically.
You can do this in the beginning till u get used to linux.
