qt3 is ancient you will probably have to install from source if you acnt find an old binary install, you may also have problems with linking to librarys as the ones on a modern system will probably be too new for a bianry install.
you do not 'install' .tar.bz2 files they are archives that may contain installable data or just about anything else,pictures music, books etc etc, you can extract them from the command lien or from a graphical archive manager.

Assuming the .tar.bz2 files contain source code for a program, you need to see the developer's instructions for how to install them. You may need to make and compile the code, or it could have binary files ready to go. These type files are equivalent to .zip files in Windows, and can contain anything. You have to know what is in the archives, and the only way to know that is to read the developer's notes.
