Save the gz file in a fresh subdirectory on your system. To install, first type
gunzip Lbfgsb.2.1.tar.gz
to produce a file Lbfgsb.2.1.tar. (If your system doesn't have the gunzip utility, you'll need to install it. Here's the tar file for gzip.) Then, type
tar -xvf Lbfgsb.2.1.tar
to create the directory Lbfgsb.2.1 containing the source code, Makefiles and User Guide.
