Maybe there's a better way, but you should be able to at least do this
manually:

1. Download the binary archive in a DispVM or clean AppVM.
2. qvm-copy the binary archive from the DispVM/AppVM to the TemplateVM.
3. Install it in the TemplateVM.
4. Edit your app launcher menu to add the command that launches the
app. (This doesn't make it visible to qvm-sync-apps. I think you have
to make a .desktop file to do that; not sure.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "How to add it to... Qubes Manager."
Programs aren't added to Qubes Manager.
