Of course!
Depending on the name of the source code file that you downloaded, the
steps are probably something like:
tar zxvf <programfile>
to unpack it. That will work for packages that are named something like
'.tar.gz' or 'tgz'.
Lemme know the filename of what you downloaded and I can probably be
more specific.
