Any version of mac able to run the version of Sigil being downloaded should be perfectly capable of extracting the archive. There's a link in the release notes to a document that describes exactly how to extract the txz file.

1. What's your macOS version? 2. What's your Archive Utility version? |

I use the Terminal commands provided in the link DiapDealer mentioned. It's great fun, actually, watching Sigil unpack itself in the Terminal window. Plus, using Terminal commands makes me feel like a big girl That said, when I boot same Mac from external drive running Catalina, double-clicking .txz does unpack Sigil straightaway. How old is this Mac of yours and what OS is it running? |

I tested this on the Mac of a friend. The OS is Yosemite 10.10.1 and the Archive Utility version is 10.10. AFAIK, the only other archive app installed on the Mac is Keka (freeware).
Maybe Keka added system-wide .txz support? Can you please download and install Keka? You should then be able to select Open With > Keka to unpack the .txz file. If that doesn't work either, another third party app must have added .txz support. Edit: Apparently txz support was added in Yosemite. Maybe it was removed in later versions. |

The Unarchiver also works (which is the app suggested in the release notes).
But as far as I can tell, the Archive Utility that comes with High Sierra (and likely earlier macOS versions) won't extract a txz. But the Catalina version will. Don't know about Mojave. |

It was broken for a while because the choice to compress or decompress got broken.
