well, There are so many methods/ways to install applications/programs in your Linux Distributions such as Compiling and Installing software from source, Installing RPM's using the Redhat Package Manager, Installing using Debian's apt-get, Installing mandrake things, Installing with fedora / yum, Installing slackware packages and Installing software using Gentoo EMerge. Installation method will vary on the Linux Distribution you're using and the type of the application package you're getting. I can't elaborate everything in here. There is an excellent 'How to' guide available for your reference to do all the things mentioned above at:
