If it's ".tar.gz", then you need to do this to unpack it first:
gunzip -c filename.tar.gz | tar xf -
where "filename" is the name of the file on your system. That will
extract (decompress and unarchive) the contents of the file. What you
do next depends on what was _inside_ that .tar.gz file.
Some software is shipped as source, in which case you'll need to
configure and compile it. Other software is shipped as binaries with
an installer script, and you'll need to run that. Still other
software is shipped as System V packages, and you'll need to run
pkgadd with "-d" to pick up that directory.
Most .tar.gz files have a "README" or "INSTALL" file with detailed
instructions located somewhere in the archive.
