Setting up a Server to Run "Admixture Application"

[beyoku]

I am trying to run this software that can be downloaded here:

To analyse some genetic data as another individual has done here:

I have a Dell poweredge 2950. Last time a used linux was a while ago on Ubuntu v 5.
I downloaded Ubuntu v10 - installed in on the server, downloaded the "Admixture" program and tried to run it from the directions in the manual with no luck. I am not sure if the file can be run as is, or if it needs to be compiled or what. Can anyone let me know if I should be using a different Lunix distro or if there is a different way to install and run the app and exactly what I should be seeing.

Thanks to anyone that has read this or replied.

I had no issues downloading the gzipped tarball, extracting it, and running the contained executable on Ubuntu 10.04 x64.

wget http://www.genetics.ucla.edu/software/admixture/binaries/admixture_linux-1.04.tar.gz

tar -zxvf admixture_linux-1.04.tar.gz

cd admixture_linux/ 

./admixture
