Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use StuffIt Deluxe to handle this file.

How to open TLZMA file?
The main problem with LZMA Compressed Tar Archive is that the TLZMA file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open TLZMA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TLZMA file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install StuffIt Deluxe
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StuffIt Deluxe is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name StuffIt Deluxe in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TLZMA files.
Programs to open TLZMA file
Remember to download programs supporting TLZMA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StuffIt Deluxe with TLZMA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TLZMA file still does not use the StuffIt Deluxe program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the StuffIt Deluxe application as the default for handling the TLZMA file.
Step 3. Update StuffIt Deluxe to the latest version
If, however, after binding StuffIt Deluxe with LZMA Compressed Tar Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TLZMA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The TLZMA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TLZMA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TLZMA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TLZMA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TLZMA files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TLZMA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TLZMA files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TLZMA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TLZMA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
