while logged in as normal user, you can gain 'root' privileges in terminal/konsole through 'su' command.

su

OR
in Login Screen, enter 'root' as Username and enter root password in Password box.
i suggest you *not* to login as 'root' user through Login Screen. use 'su' command in terminal.

After you have done that, yo install the file you got is a compressed file, so you will want to de-compress it into a folder. Once that is done goto that folder and you will see a file called README or INSTALL one of thoes will have installation instruction.
