Welcome to another world.
You have downloaded the sources, so now, you have to compile them.
The place where you unzip them is of no importance, as you will need to build(compile) the sources to have a usable program
But first, you should download it on the server.
To do so:
1) Go on the site with your regular browser, make a copy of the download url, and use wget to download it via a ssh session:
Code:
wget paste_the_url_here
2) untar the downloaded file
Code:
tar xvzf downloaded_file.tgz
3) go in it's folder 4) type
Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr/
3) if it complains about missing dependencies, then it's time for a hunt for them
5) Once the configure ran ok, type 4) If the make process don't fails (it's very visible if it does, don't worry, you will know it), type And voila, you have installed imageMagick from sources.
You can now delete the downloaded files, you don't need them anymore. Except if you want to uninstall the program, in which case you should keep them to be able to make an to remove installed files
