How to install alien arena 7.52

Question

I downloaded the tar.gz file from the site, but it seems kind of confusing. Is there any easier way to install the newest version?

Is there much difference between 7.51 (which is in Oneiric repositories) and 7.52? You can install 7.51-3 just by typing

sudo apt-get install alien-arena

or from Software Center

	I could just do it from playdeb, but it's 7.51 and I'd prefer to have it updated. – jason Oct 27 '11 at 0:44

First of all extract by right-clicking on the downloaded file and move to extract to that and run the following commands at terminal:

cd Downloads and press ENTER key.
cd ./[Type the downloaded folder filename after extract here] and press ENTER key
Type ./configure and press ENTER
Type make and press ENTER
Type make install and press ENTER

it isn't a deb. It's a tarball. – jason Oct 27 '11 at 1:47
