    • ]]>     There are so many ways to extract zip or tar.gz or tar.bz2. You can use GUI or command line. In this tutorial, I would like to show you how to extract compressed files using command line.

    Extract zip file:

    unzip file_name.zip

    Extract tar.gz file:

    tar -xzf file_name.tar.gz

    or

    tar -xvzf file_name.tar.gz

    Extract tar.bz2 file:

    tar -xjf file_name.tar.bz2

    or

    tar -xvjf file_name.tar.bz2

    Notice in tar command, there is -v parameter. It tells the application to show the extracted files (verbose).

    Those are the standard way to extract. If you need more functionality, just use man command.

    man unzip
    man tar
