Its probably not a binary inside that archive... So you might need to extract and compile... But did you make sure a package was not available from AUR?

The AUR was bugged for me, So I went to their original site and downloaded it. What I ended up doing was to extract the folder to /opt and manually create the alias and .desktop file.
