Installing Software

[Michael Harold]

Hi the List,
The instructions say 
"1) Get the tarball" (?!) Did that. 
"2) copy it to your home directory." Did THAT! 
"3) tar xfzv anjuta-<version>.tar.gz" 
(I assume that converts to anjuta-2.4.1 in my case) NOTE: No
instructions as to where, how or what with that line. 
"4) Change dir: #cd anjuta-<version> 
"5) Type #./configure" 
"6) Type # make" 
"7) Type # Make install.

I tried those instructions in terminal. "No such file" was the answer,
so the whole thing stopped at the first line.

So just how DO I install the software?
Obviously I'm new at this so H E L P please? 
Pretty please? :-) :-)
