This link: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi includes information regarding the download and installation for Intel HW.
According to that link, installation is simple and done by: cp iwlwifi-*.ucode /lib/firmware.
I recommend you read it first.
Generally speaking, for a tarball included .tgz file, which is essentially an archive (like RAR, ZIP etc), you may use the following:
- Using GUI go to the folder you've downloaded it in, and right click your mouse to select 'extract here'.
- Then using CLI (the terminal), go to the directory in which it was
extracted (
cd [directory]) and input./configure,makeandmake install- in that order.
