My colleagues using mac or linux open xz files with this line:
xz --decompress --stdout "file.csv.xz"
On my pc, with windows 10, I get the following error:
'xz' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Is the command different on windows? Or is it a matter of installing a program and putting it in the right directory (like you need curl.exe to use rcurl for example)?

Now, compressing and decompressing Tar. xz files is a relatively easy process. However, when extracting them on Windows, you will have to download third-party decompression software like 7zip or WinZip. With the help of these software, you should be able to extract your compressed file in just minutes!
xz file simply right-click the file you want to extract and select “Extract”. Windows users need a tool named 7zip to extract tar. xz files. For more verbose output, use the -v option.
Yes, you need to install xz on the computer in order to run it. http://tukaani.org/xz/
7-Zip has supported .xz files for some time and you might be able to use that if it is already installed. http://www.7-zip.org/
