Linux / UNIX: Untar / Extract a .lzma Tar Ball

To extract a .lzma tar ball in Linux or Unix, you need to first install the lzma utility, which is used to decompress the .lzma file.

Once the lzma utility is installed, you can extract the tar ball using the following command:

Here, filename.tar.lzma is the name of the .lzma tar ball that you want to extract. The -dc options are used to decompress the .lzma file, and the -xf - options are used to extract the contents of the tar ball. The - at the end of the command tells tar to extract the contents from standard input, which is the output of the lzma command.
