You don't give your operating system, so it isn't possible to give the 
exact commands you will need. So I will just randomly assume you are on 
Linux, because you wouldn't be cool if you weren't. </ignite flame war> ;-D

You need to install the package now, so you will need to change to the 
directory you put DESeq into, and then type

/path/to/R/bin/R CMD build DESeq

which will build a tarball of the package, called something like 
DESeq_some_ver_here.tar.gz that can then be installed using

/path/to/R/bin/R CMD INSTALL DESeq_some_ver_here.tar.gz

Here I am assuming that R isn't in your path. Perhaps it is, in which 
case you could just use R CMD build, etc.

If you don't really care about building vignettes and such things, you 
can install directly (e.g., R CMD INSTALL DESeq). In addition, if your R 
is installed system-wide and you use a personal library, you will have 
to pass an additional argument showing where your library is located, 
something like

R CMD INSTALL -l /path/to/library DESeq

Or you could install at an R prompt by starting R in the correct 
directory (or using setwd()), and then doing

install.packages("DESeq", repos=NULL)

which will use your personal library automagically.

If you are on either MacOS or Windows, things will be slightly different 
and more complicated. See the MacOS or Windows FAQ on r-project.org, 
specifically the part about building R.

Best,

Jim
