I tried something similar using Knoppix but it would not run as I didn't have a C compiler installed. I downloaded the .tar file to my desktop and there was a utility similar to winzip for unpacking the tar file. Hopefully your distribution has something similar. From what I can gather most people avoid doing this like the plague and either try to get the package to install from or find a repository that you can do the auto install using synaptic. You might want to join Ed's prolinux as there are many more knowledgeable linux people there.
