[activist2016]

brand new at this one. i downloaded the the .tar.gz file and gunzipped it, but i have no idea where to go from here...anyone out there install this recently or know where i should go from here? i couldn't find any step-by-step install instructions, and plus i don't know how to even 'untar' things...

i'm at total newbie and appreciate any help!
thanks!!

tar zxfv packagename.[tgz|tar.gz]
tar xfv packagename.tar if it's already unzipped
change to the newly created directory and read the README and INSTALL file. There the installation instructions are given. Mostly it's
./configure; make; make install
