I usually copy any tar or gz files into /usr/src and extract and run 
them from there.  Easy enough to do in a console:

su
<password>
cp <filename> /usr/src/<filename>
cd /usr/src   (yes I know cd is the DOS command... I've never been able 
to remember the Linux variant when I want it :) )

Then extract and run whatever as needed.

Kind regards,

Julian
