how to install this screensaver?(solved)

[kiraitachi]

oh well...i just downloaded this screensaver(http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/KDE+Asciiquarium?content=29207) and want to install it and got no idea on how to do it...the tut its hard for me to catch can someone help me?

Tut

To install:
Extract the tarball, and change to its directory (aasaver-0.3.2). In that directory, run the following:

./configure
make
make install (this may need run as root)

You will then be able to find Asciiquarium in the Miscellaneous category of the Screensaver Control Panel.

I already downloaded it now what?
