I want to install Spek Spectrum Analyser in my fresh Manjaro Install but not sure how though. I need help with installing tar.gz files as apps. it is only opening in Ark as a Zip file
Where did you get the tarball? There is a link to the INSTALL.md which shows how to install: spek/INSTALL.md at v0.8.5 · alexkay/spek · GitHub
Got it here: www.spek.cc/p/download
spek is available via the AUR: AUR (en) - spek
It only took a few seconds to install & open on my Testing branch machine.
All you need to do is run the command:
pamac build spek
Note: do not use sudo with pamac. It uses polkit for authorisation and will request your password when required.
Here it is running on my system:
There are some other spek packages available from the AUR - here’s the full list: AUR (en) - Packages

This is a so-called tar ball. This means it is the source code, not an installable package. One needs to build the package from sources. On Arch this is done with PKGBUILD scripts. The Arch community shares such scripts via the AUR, see Spek Please notice the usual disclaimer for the AUR and notice also this isn’t part of the distribution neither Manjaro nor Arch itself!.
