Download the source file, such as example.tar.gz and extract it.
$ wget http://www.example.com/downloads/example.tar.gz
( Or use any common method you have used for download a file)
Now Extract the tar.gz file (it will automatically create a folder with first part of filename)
(for getting # prompt type sudo su and give your password)
#tar -xzvf example.tar.gz
#cd example
#./configure
