Is there a reason for not using software centre? What is the software

We need more information.
Is the package a tar.gz, deb or rpm archive? What file format is it?
If it is a deb, you can install it using Software Centre.
If it is a tar.gz, it is likely that you will have to compile the source code.

Once we know it, we will be able to help you.
