The instructions for decompressing at
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/binary.html
might be out of date, as all the files are *.bz2 files.
Instructions for decompressing bz2 files can be found here:

tar nowadays doesn't need explicit compression type parameters,

"tar xf" would work for any gz-complessed or bz2-compressed file...

Which version of Ubuntu do you have? There is now a package that works
for Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty)

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=sagemath-common

This is by far the best way to use Sage under Ubuntu.

I (mostly) agree, but would like to point out that this is a port of the Debian port, which is not (yet) upgraded to Sage 8.0.

This upgrade seems difficult : the current "testing" sagemath can't be installed at the moment (two of its dependencies (viz python-cvxopt and python-cysignals-pari>=1.2.0+ds-2) are currently unavailable).

Furthermore, compiling from source is almost a (very large) piece of cake, provided that you follow *to* *the* *letter* the recommendations of the README and the Installation Guide ; the added benefits are the easo of installation of optional/experimental modules and the ability to patch/develop...

HTH,

About Dima :

The old-fashioned way (explicit option or tar command) on Unix/Linux operating system is :

tar xzvf   filearchive.tgz   (for gzip-ped tar archive files )

tar xzjf   filearchive.bz2  (bzip-ped tar archive files)

Replace x   with t , for "listing" files in the archive.
