You have to compile the package with makepkg before installing it. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Usage

As packages from the aur are not officially supported, your best bet is to comment on the package on the AUR.
That being said, the file you are trying to install is NOT a package. The filename should be *.pkg.tar.xz, not *.tar.xz. Did you actually build the package?
