Now as praka123 has already mentioned don't go for source packages (tar.gz) prefer binary (rpm/deb) packages .. Now since you are in fedora go for RPM or simply use Yum installer for installing ..
Code:
$ su -c yum install <application name>
You may save the downloaded package from /var/cache/yum/<repository name>/packages
