How to install Robomongo from tar.gz file as a program in Ubuntu 15.10


Nowadays robomongo developers releasing the new versions of robomongo as tar.gz not in .deb packages that was easy for double click installations. But that option is no longer available. So how to install it as a program in Ubuntu. I have tried extracting the package and install but failed.

admin@admin-lenovo:~$ cd Downloads/
admin@admin-lenovo:~/Downloads$ tar -xzf robomongo-0.9.0-rc4-linux-x86_64-8c830b6.tar.gz 
admin@admin-lenovo:~/Downloads$ cd robomongo-0.9.0-rc4-linux-x86_64-8c830b6/
admin@admin-lenovo:~/Downloads/robomongo-0.9.0-rc4-linux-x86_64-8c830b6$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Also .make and ./install failed as no files found. How to install it as a program?
