I downloaded freeverb.tar.gz which contains a plugin library (freeverb.so) for Audacity.
I extracted the .tar.gz file to my downloads folder but I don't know what to do next. There is no
Readme file or any other info contained in the .tar.gz file, just freeverb.so
Can you advise me how to get the freeverb.so installed into the correct folder for Audacity to pick it up?

According to ubuntu manual:
So, assuming that freeverb.so is located in /home/yourUser/Download directory (folder), create folder in your home:

create a simple file freeverb.conf like this:
Add you configuration file freeverb.conf in /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory (in this directory you can find files as example)
Run
ldconfig
in order to configure dynamic linker run-time bindings.If /etc/ld.so.conf.d doesn't exists, you can add your path at the end of /etc/ld.so.conf file.
At the end, if all went well, you can remove unnecessary file:
