Step 1: In extracting, variables (is that what it called) depend on the "tar ball" you've prepped to install.

.tar.gz files

tar -xzvf FILENAME.tar.gz

.tar.bz2 files

tar -xjvf FILENAME.tar.bz2

.tar files

tar -xvf FILENAME.tar

Step 2: Use "cd" command to locate the extracted folder.

cd ~/ANYWHERE

Step 3, 4 & 5:

./configure

sudo make

sudo make install

NOTE: Always read the README file inside the extracted folder and follow its own instructions.
