If at all possible, you should not install anything in non-deb format,
unless you exactly know what you are doing and how to do it without
breaking consistency of your system.
In most cases a deb may be obtained. If you don't know yet how to create
debs, educate yourself. It's not difficult. Just read new maintainer's
guide :).
If you really have to install in non-deb format, install to some directories
that are not under dpkg control (/usr/local/ or /opt or better your home
directory).
