A simple get you up and running...

I'm going to assume we are working in your 'USERNAME' home folder. I'm going to call it wali ie;
/home/wali
Now change directory to your downloaded files. This should be where your file was naturally downloaded to. Open a terminal can cd to that folder ie;

cd ~/Downloads

that should leave you in the directory

/home/wali/Downloads

then extract that file with this command

unzip -xzf fritzing-0.9.3b.linux.AMD64.tar.bz2

then change to the fritzing working directory ie;

cd /home/wali/Downloads/fritzing-0.9.3b.linux.AMD64/

The exectute fritzing
./Fritzing

or

sh Fritzing

You should be running @this point.

The main program is compressed for many reasons, an uncompressed file is just not feasible for the average internet users bandwidth. Why download 350+mb when it can be done in 174mb? Occam's razor good sir. As the simple answer is usually the best one. Hence a compressed file.

Good luck!
