I tried to use wget with tar as follows

wget -qO- [url] | tar xvf

but I can’t get the expected effect. There are other ways to do this?

    wget writes to the default output with these parameters? If yes, the error is in providing an unnamed file for the tar. Try removing the flag f or put /dev/stdin as an argument for f

    True. I don’t get it. @Jeffersonquesado, thanks.

I managed using

wget -qO- [link] | tar xz

The z parameter was inserted because it is a tar.gz file.

You can use

wget [link] && tar xvzf [nome_arquivo].tar.gz && rm [nome_arquivo].tar.gz

How about:

$ wget -O - https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.7.tar.gz | tar xvzf -
