How to install previous versions on linux

Hello!
Sorry if this is explained somewhere, but I can't find it.
I need to install a previous version of calibre in Ubuntu x64.
I have found the previous versions .tar.bz2 files, but I don't know how to install them.
So please, can someone tell me how to install a previous version?
Please, don't ask me why or try to argue about the convenience or not. I've found a lot of people asking how to install a previous version, but everybody started talking about the inconvenience and did not give a solution

Thank you!
