.tgz is just an archive. find an app that can extract the data... it's probably already organized for you inside just like the "ootp\data" directory. (whatever linux equivalent is...)

look it over... then, drag all the contents inside the .tgz archive file to the ootp data folder, if it is all the same directory structures inside the .tgz. click yes to replace any duplicates. as long as the files go to the proper spot it's installed.

since this is not the typical way, make a backup of your ootp game... make use of that unpacker and zip it up into an archive - zero compression for speed (store only). tgz and tar are both just archives... you can unpack either one easily as long as there is no password protection/encryption.

based on "...also an empty file named 2016_AIO.tar." you may not have let it download long enough, or there was a problem during downloading. 2 different file extensions is odd, too. did you try to get them from 2 different places? (rhetorical) oops.. does it say "filename.tar.gz" = tgz.

i didn't read this over, but google can help, if this linke wasn't good info for you:
