The tar utility is not an install/uninstall utility. Typically files downloaded as a tar archive can be extracted, using the tar command, to a specified directory. Then further instructions contained in the extracted files can be followed to complete the installation. Then uninstallation, if desired, would be the reverse of the installation process.
Often installation involves use of the make command in conjunction with a makefile contained in the archive. The makefile may include a target suggestively named "clean", for example, for uninstalling the installed files.
tar -zxvf <tarball-file>
It is a tar file file compressed using BZIP. "Bzipped-tar-file"
The usual way of copying or moving directories is to use the tar command. The resulting tar file (called a tarball) can also be compressed to save time in moving it to another system. To create a tar file for export, use a command such as: cd directory tar cvf export.tar . This will create a file called export.tar that contains all of the elements of that directory. You could also compress that tar file by: gzip export.tar Which creates an export.tar.gz file. Then, copy or move the file to another place or system. To import it: gunzip export tar if the file was compressed, then use tar to extract the contents: cd directory tar xvf export tar

A .tbz file is a tar file that has been compressed using bzip

in a linux machine : tar -cvf FileOrDirectory.tar FileOrDirectory # or to gzip it at the same time... tar -czvf FileOrDirectory.tgz FileOrDirectory
For TAR archives, you use tar -cvf .
The usual approach is to create a 'tar' file first of the directory and then compress the tar file. This is also safer because it leaves the original directory intact.
in a linux machine : tar -cvf FileOrDirectory.tar FileOrDirectory # or to gzip it at the same time... tar -czvf FileOrDirectory.tgz FileOrDirectory
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 compressedExtract all of the files into a directory with 'tar xvf filename'Run the ./configure command in the root directory of the package if it existsRun the 'make' command on the resultRun the 'make install' command if everything compiled and linked successfully.
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.
