tar - collects all the files in one
gz - archiver
, that is, initially you have two programs, one on top of the other
, one collected all the files in a heap, the other archived the archive.
In short, this is a regular archive;) zip is shorter;)
most likely you will need to read the instructions inside,
but this is 90% through make install,
but first unpack

Most likely you need https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers
I personally use yaourt

Most likely this is a ready-made package, so like this:
sudo pacman -U path_to_package / package_name.tar.xz
