There is a README or INSALL Doc in the folder after you untar that has
specific instructions but for the most part you run the configure script
(usually named configure) and then you run make and make install.  then you
should be able to run it.  most programs will put the executable in
/usr/local/bin unless you specify at configure time.

Congrats on the switch!
