[tar.bz2] is an archive
In a terminal
tar xvjf <file>
or
bunzip2 file.tar.bz2
then you should get a bunch of files including a read me
If you want to compile this you also have to install build essentials - search for that in synaptic

Re: how to execute the [tar.bz2] ?
Hi Husse,
I know that's an archive file and I also know by double-clicking it, it will give me a bunch of files, this is the way I used to do in the window. That's simple
but, as I know so far about linux was, if wanna execute program I have to do some coding in the terminal thing. That's not the easy thing ever if compare to window. Window just click-N-click and it will do the rest for you.
anyway, I followed your instructuon
In the terminal I typed
tar xvjf <file> then I entered
and then I tried the other, I typed
bunzip2 file.tar.bz2
then this was what I got in my terminal window
and then I searched in synaptic as you suggested. Finally, I found it, but in 0.3.11 version, its kinda out of date, and applied anyway, after completed, I don't know where it goes. I can't find it any where in my Menu
please, please show me steps how to get a program to work by using terminal window, because I got new version sitting right there in my desktop
OR
if you know any site help newbie learn HOW-TO setup tar.bz2 things by showing step by step
very appreciated

Re: how to execute the [tar.bz2] ?
Is your .tar.bz2 called file? Make sure you are typing the correct name.
tar xvjf yourfilename.tar.bz2
After that, you should read 'readme' (which is inside the directory created when you ran tar. Generally you need to do the following to compile a program in Linux:
./configure
make
make install
Hope it helps,
