How to install downloaded programs? 11.1 GNOME

I am very new to linux and opensuse, I am running on GNOME 11.1 and need
help on how to install downloaded programs such as limewire, pokerstars,
ect… or programs not found in repositories.

I have googled for a step by step and I can’t seem to find anything,
any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Are you asking about downloading windows programs? Have a look at
openSUSE’s ‘Wine’ (http://en.opensuse.org/Wine) page to start with.

Regarding Limewire there is a packaged version called Frostwire which
you can get from the Packman repository. Search and 1-click install it
from ‘Webpin’ (http://packages.opensuse-community.org/)
