First off i am a new user of Linux, and have next to no experience with Command Line. I do have limited experience with the dos way.

So i installed a file, it was in tar.gz format. I extracted it, then was left with a bunch of folders and subfolders. The INSTALL file read:

To compile and install just execute:

./configure
make
make install

How to i go about executing the command in terminal?

would it be:
~(insert file name here) # ./configure
~(insert file name here) # make
~(insert file name here) # make install
