I have downloaded the arduino package. Now I need to install it. I have extracted the files also, but I don't have idea what to do now? How can I do so?

If you are struggling at this early point in compiling your software, I can't recommend enough, that you install the version from the repositories

Open a terminal and run

sudo apt-get install arduino

From http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Ubuntu:

After downloading it can be unpacked anywhere. […] You will also have to start the Arduino application by opening the folder where you unpacked it to (or integrate it with Ubuntu by providing a .desktop file).

In other words, the folder where you extracted the files should have an executable for the IDE.
