Installing tar.gz on Android??

[ExperienceR]

Hi.I want to install a tar.gz on Android phone.But I dont know how??Device cant recognise package as installer like APK files and when click on it by ASTRO file manager just opens its contents like a zip file.Package is DNSCrypt for android, at this address:
Main page:DNSCrypt home page
Downloded from:
Index of /dnscrypt-proxy/
Package url:
http://download.dnscrypt.org/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy-android-1.3.3.tar.gz

a " tar.gz " file is commonly seen used for factory restore packages for Samsung devices and the flashing program Odin. Google uses a similar type setup too for their Factory Images on the Nexus devices.

But you get the idea, basically unzip the contents and see whats inside. You won't be able to actually " flash " the actual tar.gz file itself but the contents are a different story.

The files inside archive are without extension and when click it says file type not found.I think there must be a way to install tar.gz program on Android ,Because they put a file for Android on their directory to download,take a look to this links:
Index of /dnscrypt-proxy/
http://download.dnscrypt.org/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy-android-1.3.3.tar.gz
But how ? I dont know.Does anyone know??

They put up the same file for Android that they did for any other *nix OS. And it has to be installed the same way - from the terminal.

Read the part starting at

Installation

The daemon is known to work on recent versions of OSX, OpenBSD, Bitrig, NetBSD, Dragonfly BSD, FreeBSD, Linux, iOS (requires a jailbroken device), Android (rooted), Solaris (SmartOS) and Windows (requires MingW).
Install libsodium. There might be a pre-built binary package for your operating system already. On Linux, don't forget to run ldconfig if you installed it from source.

Download the latest dnscrypt-proxy version and extract it:

$ bunzip2 -cd dnscrypt-proxy-*.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
$ cd dnscrypt-proxy-*
Compile and install it using the standard procedure:

$ ./configure && make -j2
# make install​

That's how you start installing it. If you can't do a standard configure and make, you won't be able to install it. This is not a normal Android "download and click Install" app, it's a system daemon.

Thanks Rukbat for your help.Now I have the libosodium [Sh] file , how to compile this file to be executable on Android.
Another Question:Is this program for command line ability on Android?If not how to run command line on Android?

 

[Rukbat]

All of this is command line - you run a terminal app.

As far as compiling it, with gcc, I'd assume. The same way you'd compile any program on a *nix box.
