;-) Maybe it's more a Linux thing than Java ;-)

The tut tells you exactly what to do:

http://bamboo-dht.org/users-guide.html

Now that you've got Java installed, you need to download and untar the
code. I'll assume you have downloaded bamboo-VERSION.tgz, for some
appropriate value of VERSION, into the directory /tmp, and that you
want to install it in the directory /home/YOURNAME. To untar the code,
do this

    cd /home/YOURNAME
    gunzip -c /tmp/bamboo-VERSION.tgz | tar xf -

You should now have a /home/YOURNAME/bamboo directory. Make sure you
have your JAVAPATH correctly set as described above, then to this to
build the code:

    cd /home/YOURNAME/bamboo
    make

If you want to make the documentation and javadocs, do this:

    cd /home/YOURNAME/bamboo/doc
    make
    cd /home/YOURNAME/bamboo/doc/javadoc
    make
