Ok, I'm not sure exactly what you did - what do you mean by 'opening' it?

The steps are:
1: Download the file, e.g. to your PC
2: Copy it to the N900. I _think_ it will end up in /home/user/MyDocs/ then.
3: Open an xterm
4: There should now be a file /home/user/MyDocs/sheep.tar, you can check with
Code:
ls -l MyDocs/sheep.tar
5: Unpack it with the command
Code:
tar zxvf MyDocs/sheep.tar
6: Run the program with
Code:
cd sheep_pack
./sheep
(Note leading '.' in ./sheep)

EDIT: hopbeat beat me to it with a proper .deb package.
