If you are new to Linux I suggest you install software by installing packages using the package manager. Different distributions of Linux use different packagae managers.

For Ubuntu - check the documentation for installing software

After a few months you may be familiar enough with your distribution to install software directly using tar, gunzip, make and other lower level tools. Personally I don't because I appreciate the benefits of having the package manager know about all the software on the system.
