Please tell are you talking of this software... http://bio-bwa.sourceforge.net/

First step is to download and save, please take note of save path on your hard disk, the file bwa-0.5.8a.tar.bz2 from the site...

Then open a terminal Applications→Accessories→Terminal and extract the contents with this command... type it

cd name_of_downloed_tra.bz2

tar -xjvf bwa-0.5.8a.tar.bz2

then read the README or INSTALL files into the extracted directory...

Then i suppose is a file to be compiled so be sure you have installed build-essential package...
From terminal type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
