Kompozer is no longer in Debian/Ubuntu repos, so this will not be the
easiest thing.

Now... _if you want to compile your own version of Kompozer_, then you
should know the basics about compiling, and install the essential build
tools.  Most source packages come with a readme that has instructions
similar to
./configure
make
sudo make install
Follow whatever instructions are in the README and it should *just work*
This should be in the folder you extracted the tar.gz into.


OR...

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallKompozer

This basically installs the packages from 12.04 into newer versions
(like 14.04).

Be forewarned, this program has not had a stable release in around 8
years.  The project is most likely no longer active, which is why the
program was dropped from the repositories.

Feel free to look at alternatives.
Seamonkey is a community maintained web suite that has a WYSIWYG editor.
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
There is a way to install it as well without compiling, and it is
currently maintained (last release 5 Jan 2015)
