Are you actually talking about extracting the archive to /opt ?

or do you want to run the installer in the content folder of the archive?

Extract the archive anywhere. Just right click extract here

If you actually need to copy the folder to /opt I would be surprised but in a su terminal it would be cp /path_to_folder/foldername /opt

To run the installer there you maybe need to read the text file inside the extracted folder, it might be called install.txt or readme.txt whatever

maybe look here
