Protege 5.0 is distributed in the form of a tar.gz file from the main Protege website, and includes the 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE). So, it is not necessary to have Java pre-installed on your computer to run Protege.

To unpack the archive, either use your file explorer and double-click on the archive, and extract it to the desired location, or type in a terminal window:

tar zxvf protege-5.0.0-linux.tar.gz

(the archive name might differ, please use the right file name that you downloaded.)
