It's worth mentioning that you should consider using the Anaconda package manager to install a variety of bioinformatic programs.

This would be pretty easy to install using conda:

conda install -c bioconda tophat2

Did you try one of these or both? 1) sudo apt-get install bowtie 2) sudo apt-get install bowtie2

Use these directions to modify your $PATH so you can add new directories to it.

Programs may need execute bit set before they can be run (e.g. for this to work ./tophat2). You can do that by chmod a+x /path_to/tophat2

If you are serious about learning all this then spend a few hours here to get the basics of unix under your belt.
