Installing a tar gz

I have received an Arduino mega controller board in the post the design is open source, It's being used by the speeduino project to make replacement EMS systems. MOST cars now have EMS's, to do my project I must do this. I want to see if I can write to it with a Linux programme. There is a programme written to do this, but it is a tar.gz, this programme will do what I wish IF I can install it. There is a Windows programme also but I don't want to use that.

with the tar.gz file in the directory where you want it to be located, execute the following command:

tar -zxf myfile.tar.gz

This will unpack the entire directory structure, which you can then browse.
