You put them all in the same dir.  So you'll have

/home
    /torhu
        /dsss
            /bin
            /include
            /lib
            /share
            ...

And of course it has no instructions, it's written by a Linux nerd who 
assumes everyone else is a Linux nerd too.  :P

I've never been able to get bud to work correctly on Linux.  Could be that 
it's more than a year old, more likely that I'm a nob.
