The 'tar' utility is not usually used to install packages; it would consist of a source package that has to be configured, compiled, and then installed. The tar file you receive usually is in a compressed format as well.
The sequence of events with a tar file (sometimes called a tarball) is to do the following:
- Uncompress the tar file if it is compressed
- Extract all of the files into a directory with 'tar xvf filename'
- Run the ./configure command in the root directory of the package if it exists
- Run the 'make' command on the result
- Run the 'make install' command if everything compiled and linked successfully.

How do you convert tar to apk?
You probably have an apk file compressed into a tar file. To get the apk file you must use a program or app to decompress the tar file. You can find programs that will do this for Windows or Mac. You can find them for download online with a search engine. Older ones may be free to download. You can also go to the website wobzip.org and their website will do it for you. You just pick the file from your computer, then it can be uploaded decompressed and downloaded back to you. There are also three Android apps that I know of that will decompress tar files. Their names are AndroZip File Manager, ArchiDroid, and ZArchiver.
