Further Info:
Software Centre
Can search for program by vague or specific description

Synaptic
More useful for installing specific packages

.Deb on Correct Architecture
Open with your File Manager
Or Terminal: sudo dpkg -i package.deb

32bit Deb onto 64bit system
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture package.deb

Pre-Compilled Binary in Zip file
Unzip into /usr/local or /usr/local/games
Alt+F2, then type: gksu nautilus (or kdesudo dolphin for Kubuntu)
Drag folder into /usr/local
Or Terminal: sudo mv FolderName /usr/local

Pre-Compiled Binary Installer
Make it Executable - Right click on file, select Properties, Permissions
Tick Allow Executing File as Program
In Terminal: ./program.bin

Compile from Source Code
./configure
Install any extra packages through Synaptic, make sure you chose the -dev packages.
sudo make
sudo make install
