Hello and welcome to the forum
Those are all command line programs (although latex would typically be run from inside a graphical front end) - you just run them by typing the executable name (+ arguments, if applicable) in a terminal.
What exactly are you trying to do? plot stuff? write documents? compile code? if you give us specific examples we can help get you started

I think gnuplot is a program or library used by programs such as octave for plotting graphs. So to use install something like octave or qtoctave. The same can be said of Latex which is a typesetting language and Fortran 95 compiler which is used to compile fortran source code.;)

actually gnuplot has a standalone command interpreter right out of the box (although it *can* be used by other programs)

Try:
gnuplot> load "all.dem"
To find any installed program, or to give a hint of its name. Try, for example:
sudo dpkg --get-selections|grep office
