How do I install a tar.gz package in Ubuntu 13.10 in the terminal? Must I use apt-get? I have tried to use the .deb package commands, but that doesn't work. Ubuntu software center will not open the package.

If the application is a compiled application this is typically how you do it

tar xzvf TARFILE.tar.gz
cd (New Folder Name)
./configure
make 
make install
