When the file download has finished, go to the folder to which the file was downloaded, which is typically
~/Downloads
and uncompress the file by typing:
tar xf arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc3_Linux_64bit.tar.xz
(or whatever filename you downloaded.) This will take a few seconds during which nothing is displayed. When it finishes you will find a new folder:
arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc3_Linux_64bit
Move this folder to wherever you would like, e.g. your home folder, by typing:
mv arduino-ide_2.0.0-rc3_Linux_64bit ~
