Something like the following should work: (if you want to be more
careful than most, also download the .sig file,
https://meyering.net/grep/grep-3.3.49-3f11.tar.xz.sig, and use that to
verify the .xz file is the same one I signed -- do that before running
./configure)

wget https://meyering.net/grep/grep-3.3.49-3f11.tar.xz
xz -dc grep-3.3.49-3f11.tar.xz|tar xf -
cd grep-3.3.49-3f11
./configure && make
