How to install upgrades and new modules or programs in the server?

In order to improve my xoops's page, I want to install mypage.zip (to create other pages in my site), credits1.3.5.tar.gz, xoops2_mod_smartpartner_1.0_rc1_smartfactory.zip, spotlightv2.1.zip or xoops2-mod_spotlight_v1_4_spark_and_solo.zip (I don't know which is the better one), XOOPS2_lang_News_1.2_es.zip (if it changes the site's language) and XOOPS2_mod_news_1_2_1.zip.

Can anyone explain me, step by step, how install all these modules or programs in the server?
Thanks, thanks and thanks

there's lots of info in the FAQ section regarding installing modules..

you'll most likely need an FTP program unless you do it via your servers control panel..

Thanks but I don't know, case by case, if I had to unzip each program and save the files in a folder under the public's folder or under the modules's folder or which folder... ¿Do you know how to do it for:
* mypage.zip (to create other pages in my site)
* credits1.3.5.tar.gz (but it is not a zip file)
* xoops2_mod_smartpartner_1.0_rc1_smartfactory.zip
* spotlightv2.1.zip or xoops2-mod_spotlight_v1_4_spark_and_solo.zip (I don't know which is the better one)
* XOOPS2_lang_News_1.2_es.zip (if it changes the site's language)
* XOOPS2_mod_news_1_2_1.zip

Thanks again

Thanks jdseymour but in the set of Module Deployment Tutorials tells how to install the xoops, not the modules or updates...
Anyone knows how to?

Module install tutorial shows install an actual module in Xoops, multimenu.

To update, most of the time just involves over writing the files and updating by clicking the update icon in the modules admin page. Sometimes you may have an upgrade script to run.

Always read the readme text and upgrade text included with the module to see the proper way.

HTH.
