To install the rpm you will need alien: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto

The first option (tar.gz) seems easier: I tried it and it worked.
Can you please provide here the steps you took to install and error messages you got so that we can check them and guide you to a successful installation?

                                                                       2. recomended updates
                                                                       3. pre-released updates
the click the close button and it will prompt u for reloading click it it will gather all the updates and u will be notified of the updates
