1. Extract the folder in tar to a directory, or files in tar to a folder in a directory!!
2. open terminal and change to that folder
3. command "./configure"
4. command "make" //You shud be able to run files now from that directory by commanding "./executable_file_name"
5. change to root and command "make install" to bring the executables in path!

Some times there are install scripts like "INSTALL.sh", for that command "sh INSTALL.sh". But u shud read the README file first!
