You're having problems because you didn't understand Joomla's terminology to extensions.
Extensions are divided in:
Modules
Plugins
Components
Check official documentation to learn each concept.
So, when you have an extension, to install it you just go to your Joomla's menu in administration, and select install like it is in the picture below.
Then, select your zip file which contains your extension.
Go to yourserver.com/administrator/
In one of the menus is a component manager.

I am creating a bot using Bot Framework Composer following the instructions in the tutorial.
Tutorial URL : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/composer/tutorial-create-weather-bot#add-interruptions-to-the-conversation-flow
The tutorial states that the Project Readme appears when the 'Microsoft.Bot.Components.HelpAndCancel' package is installed. But it doesn't appear.
The tutorial also states that 'CancelDialog' and 'HelpDialog' are displayed on the authoring canvas. But I don't see it.
Also, the installed packages do not appear in the 'Installed' menu in Package Manager.
I don't know what the problem is.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I found the cause of the problem.
It was because the user name of the Windows local user account was Korean (in my case) not English.
After changing the user name to English, I tried again and it worked normally.
Unfortunately, I don't have a deep understanding of this issue, so it's difficult to explain in detail.
I look forward to a detailed explanation from someone who has a deep understanding of this issue.
I'm trying to install another language on my Joomla site, but when I want to do it a message accurs:
There are no available languages to install at the moment. Please click on the "Find languages" button to check for updates on the Joomla Languages server. You will need an internet connection for this to work.
Is there a way to install it manually?
sure you can:

Install the language pack via extension manager

I am user of Joomla 2.5 cms and I try to built a double-language site.
Yesterday I installed this one module to my site
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/authentication-management/6660
but this don't support 2 languages, only one.
The help I need is some information on how I can add new files for this module with new labels of course at my excisting language packages.
if it doesn't support 2 languages, you have some problems
anyway you can ask your developer to help you.
or you can check the source and change the needed words to your desire language, then you can change the module name and install it separately
it is important to see if you have the right to change that extension.
and you can write your own of course :)
There are no options displayed when I'm looking at a plugin with the plugin manager. Where there should be a menu for basic and advance options is just white space. How can I start trouble shooting this problem? Other installed extensions work fine and hours of searching about plugin options make me think this is a peculiar error. This is what my menu looks like http://i.stack.imgur.com/s2S4K.png
The plugin you are using is not written for Joomla 1.6, the XML manifest needs to be updated at the very least. The plugin itself may also need to be rewritten. I would start withe the XML file first, you can find details on the changes that need to be made here - http://www.theartofjoomla.com/home/9-developer/112-upgrading-a-plugin-to-joomla-16.html
I'm looking for a way to setup the XML install file for my component and for it to also install the plugins and modules that go along with it all in a single installation. Has anyone done this before, how can this be achieved?
Many thanks
Try checking out http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/ the basic editor installs the component and the affiliated plugin. Simply, it used the xml put the files in the correct places and uses an install.php script to finish. It does a lot of detailed things in some of the steps that you can ignore like all the component plugins etc.
