One of the challanges we devs face is the level of knowledge of our users. This
varies to the most extremes you can think of: on one hand there is the novice
user who knows how to turn on a computer and then knowledge pretty much ends
and on the other hand there is the pro who might be a dev or admin himself.
Writing instructions which serve all of them equally well is kind of hard. So
we usually write something the other person might get along with knowing that
sometimes it's not enough and sometimes boring as hell.

Usually, questions regarding user support are much better suited for the forum
at https://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=69 just in case you need to follow up
on this entry here, please do it there.

The file you downloaded (kmymoney-5.0.8.tar.xz) is the bare source code tree in
a compressed container format. This is the most complicated version for you to
get a running application. My advice: throw it away. It will not be recognized
by synaptic as you have already found out. So no way without additionally
installing compilers, libraries, frameworks etc. and then building the thing
from scratch. It's like building the house before moving in, but you only want
to move in.

The best way to get started is using the AppImage version. Visit
https://kmymoney.org/appimage.html and follow the instructions there. In case
they are not sufficient or you still have problems, please contact us on the
forum.
