There is usually a "README.txt" or "README" file that explains the procedure to compile and install.
You probably need the build-essential package, so execute in terminal:
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Then follow the file.

By the way, before you install it, check about the program in Applications > Add/Remove... Select Show: "All available applications" - maybe you can find already there.
