If you double-click it the archive manager should open and let you extract the package where you want.
Then what you have to do depens on the kind of application.
it maybe a script-application which doesn't need installation, or if it needs installation a common procedure is to browse to the directory in which you unpacked the program, type "./configure", then "sudo make", then "sudo make install". however there is usually a readme file in the directory which explains the procedure.

Can you help with this problem?
