total n00b question

I'm new to linux (but I've used vuze / azureus on windows);  when I have un-.jar'd the folder (Azureus2.5.0.4.jar), I see a bunch of folders (com, edu, meta-inf, org) and a file (azureus.sig);  how do I install from here?  sorry, total noob.

2.5.0.4 ??????  What is that a 6 or 7 year old version???  Are you sure there is not a more recent version available?  I would be very surprised if that is the most recent version.

As far as installing it . . . I do not know but most unix programs come with a .readme file which explains how to install them.
