I have downloaded the tar.gz file of nasm and extracted it on my desktop. But I don't know how to install it. Please can anyone tell me how to install nasm externally on Ubuntu. Thanks in advanced

Look at Ubuntu wiki or another askubuntu question for upgrade instructions. Also, what dos that tar.gz contain ? Is there a README file ? Typically instructions are there . . .Sometimes there may be config or makefile files – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Feb 12 '16 at 05:58

The general-purpose x86 assembler (nasm) is in the default repositories for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. nasm can be installed with the following command:
sudo apt-get install nasm
The version of nasm in the default Ubuntu 14.04 repositories is nasm 2.10.09 and the version for Ubuntu 16.04 is nasm 2.11.08 (which is also the latest stable version from the official NASM website).
