How does one intergrate a software that is not from Ubuntu Software centre.

Software packages provided in the Ubuntu repositories is easy to install with the package management tools (software center, synaptic, ...).

For software that comes from other sources no general advice can be given. It very much depends on the way that this software is provided.
Usually there is some kind of "how to install" instruction available on the source where you can download the software.

Some examples:
software is provided as *.deb package - install it with the Ubuntu package management programs
software is provided as executable files in a *.tar file - unpack it into a suitable directory
software is provided as uncompiled source - build the executables as instructed (e.g. ./configure && make && sudo make install)
etc.

Please look at the internet whether you find instructions what to do with the downloaded file(s).

Maybe we can tell more if you provide details about the software that you want to install.

Thank you for your advise.

Yes I will check to see If there are directions for installing this
software. It is called Surfopenly, downloaded from Sourceforge.

Sincerely Graeme

I assume that you are talking about https://sourceforge.net/projects/zeeapps/
This software seems to be available for Windows operating system only.
I do not expect that you will be able to get it running on Ubuntu.

Maybe you can use achieve a similar goal by using a VPN client program provided in Ubuntu (e.g. openvpn).

I cannot find any (open VNP) software at software central for Ubuntu
