about install the acrobat reader for linux

Dear Sir/Madam:

  I downloaded the acrobat reader 5.06 for Linux, but I did not know how 
install it
properly. I try to follow the install --help 's suggestion, it seemed it 
does not work.
Then, I tried to search the website of www.adobe.com, no answer founded 
either.
Could you give me a suggestion about how to install it, like a sample 
which looks
like "install -d ??? ???" ?

                                                                        
               Thank you
                                                                        
               William
