What's inside tar.gz file? Sometimes the packages come with a
installation script, search for such a one inside the archive. If it's
a source tar ball, do this:

1. Extract:
    $tar -xvf <tar package>

2. Configure (if the source is based on gnu autotools):
    'cd' to extracted folder and  do a 
        $./configure
 
3. Install missing dependencies using package manager

4. To build,
    $make

5. To install :
    $sudo make install

    (you can install to a specific folder without sudo power if you
    want, we will have to configure that while running ./configure)

Hope that helps you, Good luck.
