#tar -xvf nagios-plugin-for-ibm-i_20190620.tar.gz /usr/local/nagios/
tar: /usr/local/nagios: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

If you read the error message, you'll find that you're trying to extract /usr/local/nagios/, which can't be done.
cd to that dir and extract the tar.

Thanks finally managed to install.
