To use it, open a terminal in the folder where you downloaded the installer and run these commands:
chmod u+x gcompris-qt-4.2-Linux64.sh ./gcompris-qt-4.2-Linux64.sh
Then read the license or press q to skip it, answer yes to the questions, and the software will be installed in a new folder next to the installer.
Finally, to launch gcompris, go in the new folder, in bin, and double-click on gcompris-qt.sh.
Note: If your system doesn't have OpenGL 2 support or if it's not working properly, please add the option "--software-renderer" at the end of the last line of the script gcompris-qt.sh. Another way is to edit the configuration file (in ~/.config/gcompris-qt/gcompris-qt.conf): find the line renderer=auto , replace auto with software and save the file.
Alternatively, you can install GCompris from Flathub or from the Snap store.
