The same way nearly all tarball packages are done:

tar -xzf snort*.tar.gz
cd snort*
./configure
make
make install

Or you could read the INSTALL file that's inside doc directory of the tarball.

Note: all of the above assumes you're running snort on a unix or unix-like 
platform. If you're going to run on windows, download the precompiled win32 
binaries.. compiling for windows is not an entirely simple task due to 
snort's unix-ish roots.

The win32 binaries are at:
http://www.snort.org/dl/binaries/win32/

And they will require that you get and install winpcap.

You might also want to check out www.winsnort.com, they've got lots of good 
install guides and goodies tailored to the win32 user.
