It was a .tar.gz file and I was able to bring it into Ubuntu 12.04 and extract all the files into a directory. So far so good. The program needs to be run with Python. That is installed into ubuntu. This is where i fall flat. How do I go about getting it to run like an application?

Have you followed the instructions in the Quisk documentation?

http://james.ahlstrom.name/quisk/docs2.html#Installation

It appears that you can't just run it out of the extracted tarball, it needs to be compiled.

In a related note, it appears that quisk is packaged for Ubuntu in 'precise', 'quantal' and 'raring'.  Is there a reason why you aren't using the packaged version?
