In the untarred folder there is normally an INSTALL file that tells you how to install them, also maybe post the names of the files you want to open. There may also other dependencies required by this files as well.

there is no INSTALL or README to tell me how.there is INSTALL-sh not INSTALL.sh and others don't tell me anything i do.
