I'll assume you've downloaded the zip file via your browser which put it in ${HOME}/Downloads

Open a terminal and try the following commands:

cd ${HOME}/Downloads
ls # a bunch of stuff is here, one of the files should be TkinterTreectrl-1.0.zip 
unzip TkinterTreectrl-1.0.zip 
cd TkinterTreectrl-1.0
sudo python setup.py install

Of course, you might need to get a couple of the dependencies and install those too.

Installing python modules usually only takes <sudo> python setup.py install once you've unpacked the archive containing the files.

For future reference, here's how to unpack files with various extensions:

.zip    --> unzip filename.zip
.gz     --> gunzip filname.gz
.tar.gz --> tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz
.tgz    --> tar -xzvf filename.tgz
.bz2    --> bunzip2 filename.bz2

If you're on Ubuntu you should just use the Software Center. 

sudo apt-get install {package-name}

Should be easy as that. Also yes, this should be from the terminal.
