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

What do you want to install? Most software can be installed from official repositories without downloading anything from the web. – Archisman Panigrahi Jun 16 '23 at 02:35

27zip is easily available from the Ubuntu repositories. Check your Ubuntu Software application. Much easier than downloading and mucking about with tarballs. We migrated away from those 20 years ago. – user535733 Jun 16 '23 at 03:29

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.
