Sounds like you need a good book, Running Linux by O'reilly has a lot
in there that'll serve you well.

I can't remember what form POV comes in, but if it's a .tar.gz file
co to the directory where the file is and do:

$ tar -xzvf povray3.1g.tar.gz

assuming that that is the name of the file that you downloaded.  
This will unzip the file into a directory so do: 

$ cd povray3.1g

if that is the directory created when you unzipped and read any files
named README, read.me, INSTALL, or getting_started.txt or whatever.

Hope some of that helps. 

Mark Gordon gave a good explanation of how to install pov in this
group not too long ago IIRC, so have a look at some old messages,
they may be of more help than the info I've given above.
