CGHub: Confusion on what to do after data is downloaded

Hi everyone. I am new to navigating CGHub and I would like some help. The documentation that they have assumes that users know what to do after they download their data, however, I am extremely confused. I downloaded RNA sequence data, and there was ouput of a fastq.tar file. I am not sure what to do after this, but I am working on linux (which I am new to as well). I have been searching the web for about a week, and stumbled upon this forum, however, I can't seem to find anything to direct me on the proper path. What do I do next? How can I view the rna seq data? I am so confused. :/

Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions you can give me!

Have you looked at this recent guide for TCGA data: Guide to TCGA data

Thank you so much! I'm looking over it right now and this is EXACTLY what I need.
