Thanks for the help.

If it's a tar.gz file, then you do it like you would in any other distro.
tar -zxvf packagename.tar.gz
cd ./packagename
./configure
make
make install

In the scenario you described, compiling from source is the same no matter what distro you are using.
If it's a .deb or .rpm, then there's a distro-specific (of sorts) question.
If it's a .deb then

dpkg -i packagename.deb

and for an .rpm

rpm -Uvh packagename.rpm

There ya go!

The Debian version should be a .deb not tar.gz. If you have the .deb, run, as root:

dpkg -i youropera.deb
