I had some missing libraries like libmtp, after extracting the tar, what do I do with the folders? do I need to extract to a specific area? can I move them after installing?

You should install libmtp by running
sudo apt install libmtp.This will download, extract, and install the library to its proper location. No need to be downloading stuff manually like that.

Isn't libmtp available in your repo?

I installed libmtp because I got a "no .source file" error while trying to transfer files

The left over files and directories are safe to delete.

Both spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world and voracread@lemmy.world's answers work, I deleted the leftover files, and ran
sudo apt upgrade libmtpbecause the version I got was out of datepossiblylinux127@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 1y
Only use a package manager to install software including libraries
