You can obtain the latest Drupal release from http://drupal.org/. The files are in .tar.gz format and can be extracted using most compression tools. On a typical Unix command line, use:
wget http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz
tar -zxvf drupal-x.x.tar.gz
This will create a new directory drupal-x.x/ containing all Drupal files and directories.
Note
On windows systems you can use a number of compression programs. One such is 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/). Extract it to a drupal-x.x.tar file, then extract it again.
Move the contents of that directory into a directory within your web server's document root or your public HTML directory:
mv drupal-x.x/* drupal-x.x/.htaccess /var/www/html
