Contrary to what someone else said, you really should have started
here:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Your question is next to impossible to answer. Here are the questions
you have to answer before we can help.

1. Do you want to install source code?
2. Do you want to build your own software from scratch?
3. Are you asking how to install the software on the Source Code CDs?
4. What version of Linux are you using?
5. What have you tried?
6. What makes you ask?

.....and more.

To answer the question I THINK you asked: There's nothing on the
Source Code CDs that you must install on your system to run it.
