How do I install software that isn't in the "store"?

I know this probably isn't a thing that has a one size fits all solution but I've had a few programs that aren't in the store and I'm not sure how to install them. As an example I'm trying to download Python and get a .tar.xz. I think this is a zip because I can extract it and there's an install.sh in there but running that doesn't seem to do anything?

Python actual comes pre-installed in pretty much every Linux environment, in you open the terminal and type python --version, it will return Python 3.13.0 What are you trying to install though that needs python?

Found the instructions on https://github.com/LondonAppDev/dual-boot-bluetooth-pair be careful with following instructions that haven't been updated in 4+ years. If you download the clean_reg_file.py and bluetooth_fix.py files. The command would be python clean_reg_file.py /path/to/BTKeys.reg keys.reg rather than clean_reg_file.py /path/to/BTKeys.reg keys.reg. However, I'm very skeptical that a 4 year old post will be the fix to your problem. A lot changes in 4 years.

Yeah I managed to find that Just been bugging me Most of the fixes say to replace the key under LinkKey but that hasn't had an effect When I do it I can no longer connect to the headset
