Hmm.. Where is you sense of adventure. In the old days there were 4 easy
steps to folllow after untarring the file:
(1) cross your fingers and rub a rabbit's foot
(2) ./configure
(3) make
(4) make install
If the force was with you -- all went well.

Could someone give me a detailed instructions on to install Tar.gz files.
Thanks
tar.gz files are a compressed collection of files. You can extract them with:
tar zxvf <filename>
and it will be extracted into the current directory.
Now, if you are asking how to install software in a tar.gz file, that might include more steps. This is especially true if you are trying to install a program from a source code tarball.
