  • Lets asume you have downloaded the file in your download folder. (~/Downloads) ( make sure the file name after download is xdm-setup-7.2.10.tar.xz, not xdm-setup-7.2.10.tar(1).xz etc )
  • Open terminal and switch to the directory using cd ~/Downloads
  • Now type tar xvf xdm-setup-7.2.10.tar.xz
