You cannot install a zip file by itself. First unizip it (unzip yourzipfilename.zip) then navigate to the extracted folder (cd yourzipfilename), then install it's contents using command(s) that are appropriate to the content type.

Just Double-click the .zip file -> Click Extract-> Select Destination Folder to extract. Its Done.

.zip is a compressed file not an installer.
