Phew,
tar.bz2 is most common at first a tar.bz2 file which contains anything, not necessary a program.
If it is a program, this are most probably the programs sources, which you have to compile by yourself; this is not the easiest thing for beginners.
First of all, you have to extract this file. Try right-clicking on it and choose something like 'extract here'.
Have a look to the then shown directory and tell us more about the contents.
On the other hand, which program do you want to install? If there are rpm-files for it, you should prefer using them instead of compiling it by yourself.
Gruß / regards
