Have you tried this utility call alien? Alien can convert tar.gz to deb pack, which you can install through software center. This gentleman made a video on how to use this utility.

sudo apt-get install alien

go to tar.gz directory

(sudo) alien -d packagename.tar.gz # may not need sudo, just in case

Open tar.gz directory, and now you should have a deb package. Double click the deb package, and installation should start in software center

Best of luck.
