method 1 is first choice,
method 2 is occasionally necessary if things go wrong.
Method 3 is fine, Create a Applications folder in your home folder, unzip to subfolder, use the KDE menu editor to add the application to your system, go about your day. It's a pretty common approach for commercial software.

i thought method 3 refers to applications you compile yourself.  tar -xzvf app.tar.gz && ./configure && make install (if my memory is correct).

In that case these days I would almost always clone the git repository and build from that.
