I am a new Ubuntu user from Windows. I never downloaded 7zip for Linux; when I did, I had a tar.xz file. How do I make it become an application to run it? Also, if there is a way to install it via the terminal, can you show me what that is? P.s If my spelling is not correct, sue the company who made Grammarly

To install 7zip in Ubuntu 22.04 and later open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install 7zip

Read man tar. Use file foo.tar.xz to be sure it's not a HTML file. Use tar tAvf foo.tar.xz to see a contents list. To extract the files, first do mkdir ~/src. Then cd ~/src; tar xAvf ../foo.tar.xz.

Now read the upper-case named files (less [A-Z]*). Follow the instructions contained therein.
