To unpack files under Linux, you need to know what file format your file is. Frequently used are the .zip, .tar and .tar.gz formats.
If you want to be sure about the file format, open a console and use the file command like this:
# file Blue-1.7.tar Blue-1.7.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
Here are file formats and how to unpack them:
| extension | type | how to extract |
|---|---|---|
| .7z | 7zip | install 7z, e.g. for SUSE Linux: yast -i p7zip; run it: 7z x file.7z |
| .bz2 | bunzip2 | bunzip2 file.bz2 |
| .rar | rar | unrar x file.rar |
| .sda | ? | unzip file.sda |
| .tar | tar archive | tar xvf file.tar |
| .tar.gz | gzipped tar archive | tar xvzf file.tar |
| .tgz | gzipped tar archive | tar xvzf file.tgz |
| .zip | zip archive | unzip file.zip |
| .zipx | new WinZip archive | See unpack .zipx files |
