Others have given specific advice regarding this "ventoy" thing.  I will
just add that it's not possible to give generic instructions that would
cover any application shipped as a .tar.gz, because there simply is
nothing generic there that would allow for that.  Even covering any two
such applications with the same set of instructions would be a
challenge.
