    Most distros, I believe, have gcc installed. If I'm wrong, then I found some installation instructions that should be of assistance: Installing GCC - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)

    *EDIT*

    I was mistaken... gcc isn't installed by default. But there is still the walk-through that I posted. Sorry about the mis-information.

    As a beginner, you usually install software with the package manager that comes shipped with you distribution. Because "linux" is too generic, we can't help you until you provide more information than that.

    On a lot of systems gcc is installed by default but not, but gcc is not by default a part of GNU/Linux, so on my distro it was installed by default, but if I should find it necessary to switch, I could be that I have to install it after the distro's setup. It's very distro dependant.
