open a terminal window and change into the directory.

 $ cd Downloads/

downloading the .tar.xz file is probably done with a browser, but it could be done in the terminal too

:~/Downloads $ wget https://www.lorenz-pullwitt.de/MemorySurfer/MemorySurfer.tar.xz

Then check the file size.

:~/Downloads $ ls -l total 32
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 45376 May 26 02:16 MemorySurfer.tar.xz

Check the SHA256.

:~/Downloads $ sha256sum MemorySurfer.tar.xz b02ebec6fdd5a769b74e68c2075a596360393c47c590c52336c0fca9685601ce MemorySurfer.tar.xz

Decompressing is probably better done in Files. But here is how to do it in the terminal:

:~/Downloads $ xz -d MemorySurfer.tar.xz :~/Downloads $ ls -l total 248
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 326144 May 26 02:16 MemorySurfer.tar ~/Downloads $ tar xf MemorySurfer.tar ~/Downloads $ ls -l total 252
drwxr-xr-x 7 user user 4096 May 26 01:21 MemorySurfer
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 326144 May 26 02:16 MemorySurfer.tar

The setup is described for RasPiOS, Fedora and Debian.
