Contents • • • • 1 Introduction Source code is often packed for download as a TAR (Tape ARchive) file, that is a standard format in the Unix/Linux world. These files have a.tar extension; they can also be compressed, the extension is.tar.gz or.tar.bz2 in these cases.

The bzip2 command is used for. File5 and file6 into a single archive named file7.tar and then compress that archive into a compressed file named file7.tar.bz2.

7-Zip can also be used to unpack many other formats and to create tar files (amongst others). • Download and install 7-Zip from.

If you do not want to use 7-Zip as a command line tool, skip the next steps. • Add the directory you installed 7-Zip into to your path (Start ->Control Panel ->System ->Advanced ->Environment Variables). • Move the tar file to the directory you wish to unpack into (usually the tar file will put everything into a directory inside this directory). • Open a command prompt, and cd to the directory. • If the tar file is compressed, type 7z x filename.tar.gz at the command prompt (where filename.tar.gz is the name of the compressed tar file).

This results in a tar file called filename.tar • Type 7z x filename.tar at the command prompt (where filename.tar is the name of the tar file). Instead of using 7-Zip on the command line, you can use the file manager and click on a.tar,.tar.gz, or.tar.bz2 file; 7-Zip will automatically start. 4 TarTool A simple windows command line tool (no install, just unzip) Its hosted on codeplex, complete with the source code.

Alternate Method (safer) Although uncommon, you may run across an archive file that does not extract itself cleanly into its own directory. For this case, it is safer to extract the archive in a temporary directory (e.g. Temp), to avoid potentially hundreds of files not being placed into their own directory and thrown into the current directory with all of your downloaded files; as in this example anyway. Then you have the tedious task of deleting or moving each file and/or directory that does not belong. To use the alternate method, after the cd command in the section above, follow the replacement steps below.
