Confused on installing Savage.

I could not find a gentoo build for the Savage Demo but I did find a linux demo but its in .sh compression. I'm very new to this and I know what do do with tarz and what not but what kind of format is this? How do I install it? I can't find anything on the web about this form of compression or even in gentoo FAQs. I'm sure its something I should know and I feel dumb asking but I have no choice. Thank you for your help...

emerge savagedemo
.sh is a shell script.

I tried to emerge it but it says:

emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "savagedemo".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

I figured that means it may be on the list on gentoo.org but not actually in the system yet.

That means you need to sync, it's probably still marked testing on your computer.

Hrmmmm... I did a sync but I didn't think that would effect it. Perhaps I didn't understand what you ment. I typed "sync" to sync it in console and then tried to emerge again with no luck.
