If it's in XCode, open the project file, then cmd-b and hit the build button.

if it's a standard unix app, the process is usually:
read README, INSTALL, and any other text files that may be in the source root dir. then, typically it's:
./configure (maybe with some options)
make
sudo make install
/Earth\ Mk\.\ I{2}/
