Log in as root. Goto where file is located and type

gunzip idl_linux.x86.tar.gz

this will unzip your file. Then

tar -xvf idl_linux.x86.tar

What happens next depends on whether the file is the install binary or
source codes. If the former then the above command will untar most
likely just one file locally to the directory where idl_linux.x86.tar
is located. In that case type the name of the untar file at the
prompt. You may have to type ./ before the file name. If however its the
source codes then above command will create a
linux directory and untar the files into it. In this case go to this
directory and read all readme, install and config files on how to compile
and install the IDL source files.
