I have a file downloaded from the Internet.

To be specific I downloaded Code::Blocks from its official site.
The file name is codeblocks.tar.bz2.

If I don't have Internet connection and also Ubuntu Software Center is not working, how do I install the software?

I think I will have to use terminal but I am not used to with terminal. So please make it as simple as possible.

In codeblocks download section there are three options available.

Binaries

If you downloaded the package from Binaries section then your file will be something like this "codeblocks-10.05-1-debian-i386.tar.bz2"

Source

Download the file, sample: codeblocks-10.05-1debian-src.tar.bz2 and untar it the same way how it is done for binaries.

./configure 

make

make install

make sure you have installed build-essential before trying the above steps.

You need install SVN package before proceeding the following steps.

Checkout the code using command svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/codeblocks/trunk. (This step needs internet connection.)

Read the README & README.debian for instructions on how to install without internet-access
