So you downloaded a *source code* tarball of Evolution (and source code
needs to get compiled first to be executed as a program).
And just for the records, 3.12.4 is the latest stable Evolution version.

If you really want to do this and know what you are doing:

But if you have never compiled and installed source code tarballs and
their dependencies, then this is nothing to recommend.

Instead, take the pre-compiled package provided by your distribution and
install that one.
