Newbie to linux and a question

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi list i too am a newby to linux, and was wondering after downloading 
an app from google search how to you know how to install or build the 
installer?  is there a file or a read me inside which tells you how to 
do it?  I looked at the linux cookbook and really didn't see that part 
of how to figure that out.   I know i  skimmed through, it and have a 
long way to go, lol.
