*.tar.gz files do not always require installation. Sometimes they're simply portable static builds, one type of universal packaging method. If the *.tar.gz file is a portable static build, then extracting it creates a folder containing everything needed to run the program. You'll need to locate the executable and create a menu entry using the path to the executable and the executable name to run the program. Alternately, you usually can run the program from the command line using <path-to-executable>executable name.
To determine what the *.tar.gz file contains, after downloading right-click on it and open it with Archive Manager. It may take a few seconds for the contents of the *.tar.gz file to appear. If all that appears is a named folder, then it probably is a static portable build.
There are some posts on the forums about Citrix, like here
I'm not 100% sure if you're talking about the same program though.
Also, Solus isn't a "gnome based distro". It's simply an independent distro, not based on anything, with its own package format (eopkg
for Solus, instead of e.g. deb
for Debian-based distros).

You cannot install deb- or rpm packaged programs on Solus. It has its own package system. But you can install the tarball (tar.gz). Downlaod, unzip it into some folder. Open a terminal in that folder and run the installation script.
Unfortunately, Citrix app does not provide the certifactes you need to get it work. Read this tutorial.
