Default

First unpack the software from its distribution format (typically a tarball compressed with compress, gzip, or bzip2 program)
If extension is .tar.gz
Code:
tar -zxvf file.tar.gz
If extension is .tar.bz2
Code:
tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2
Then goto directory where files are extracted and locate the documentation (perhaps an INSTALL or README file, or some files in a doc/ subdirectory) and read up on how to install the software.

If the software was distributed in source format, compile it. For example
Code:
./configure
make
make install
If you have more question feel free to reply
