Putting it in /home/yourusername/nameanewfolderyourself/ is OK, but usually you can move it to /opt/ and extract it there. If it comes with an installer in the zip file there should be a read me file explaining the intended way the devs want you to do it. I would extract it in /opt/ or /home/yourusername/downloads/ and look for a read me file.
