How to install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?

I have downloaded wine using the download location at the site. The download is a file.tar.bz2. I have extracted it and it gives me a lot of files but nothing that seems to be executable. How can I install it without using the software center?

installation

  1. Usually:

    tar -xf file.tar.bz2
cd dir_name
./configure
make
sudo make install

    *dir_name* is the same as file name but without file extension.

    You would probobly need build-essential package before compiling.

    You can install it by typing:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential

    Like iSeth said it's better and simpler to install Wine from repo by just typing:

    sudo apt-get install wine

  2. You have to compile it. It usually has a readme or an install text file which explains the steps to successfully install it.
