You have two options:-
1. Use a gui like file-roller or ark to open and extract it if you prefer a gui like winzip etc.
(Usually desktop environments allow extraction. If you right click on the file you will probably see
an option like extract here or extract to etc. Click on that and it will be done as per your
requirement.
2. You can also do this on a terminal:
cd ~/Desktop
unzip (thats it it will install).

Hope this helps. Let me know if you still face an issue.
Happy Linuxing.

Hildebrand
