Please describe more clearly what kind of file did you decompress.

xxx.tar.bz2 or xxxx.diff.bz2 or what?

Who knows?  If you raise a question but nobody can understand, the answer is simple: - No one can help you.

Usually this sort of tar.bz2 (a.k.a. tarball) is a package of source codes.  You may need to use compiler to compile the source codes to build your software.  Of course, you must satisfy the relevant dependencies before you may proceed.

I am not sure what command you have issued to decompress the tarball.  If you use bzip2 -d, then you should end up with a tarball end with .tar, which means you need to use tar xf xxxxxx.tar to unpack the .tar file.

Alternatively, you can simply run tar xf xxxxxxx.tar.bz2 to decompress it.  You should see a new directory containing the source codes.
