This is where you will compile FreeSWITCH, but not where it'll be
installed. It will install to the standardised FHS paths (/usr/local/bin
etc),

i try to tar it i get the following error for the command that i write

6.  tar -xvfz freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2


The correct command for a .tar.bz2 is:
tar -jxvf freeswitch-1.2.5.3.tar.bz2

-j = .bz2, -z is for .gz. They're different compression algorithm. bzip2
generally gives better compression, but takes longer to compress.
-x = extract
-v = verbose (optional), will tell you each file extracted
-f filename = what file to extract
-f *must* appear just before the filename, in the one you were trying you
had xvfz, the fz means it would've been looking for a tarball called 'z'
