Hi Ali; You need to install a program like 7Zip <http://www.7-zip.org/> which will allow you to untar and install the *.tar file.
7Zip unpacks tars, rars, zips and their own proprietary 7z compaction methods. *7-Zip* is *open source* software. Most of the source code is under the *GNU LGPL* license. The unRAR code is under a mixed license: GNU LGPL + unRAR restrictions. Check license information here: 7-Zip license<http://www.7-zip.org/license.txt> . You can use 7-Zip on any computer, including a computer in a commercial organization. You don't need to register or pay for 7-Zip. Just as R is open source and under a similar license.
