They can be installed anywhere. The file freenet needs is the executable file java which should have came with the java distribution. Install freenet into a directory in your home directory. Freenet is a good choice. Edit the file called start-freenet.sh and add this to the top replacing javapath with the directory that the java excutable is in.
PATH=javapath:$PATH export PATH Run start-freenet.sh and Freenet should start up after that.
