how to extract tar.7z files from command line?
Yes - the package p7zip
/ p7zip-full
provides a command-line application to zip/unzip 7z files. The command is simply 7z
.
You can combine a 7z
/ tar
call using a pipe:
7z x -so yourfile.tar.7z | tar xf - -C target_dir
where target_dir is a already-existing directory.
Install p7zip-full if not already installed:
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
execute this command to extract .tar.7z file(go to directory where is your file, if
myfile.tar.7z
is your file name):7za x myfile.tar.7z tar -xvf myfile.tar
That's it. Actually first command extracts in .tar file then next command extracts it completely.
Make sure that 7zip is installed, if not, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:
sudo apt-get install p7zip
To install the command line utility do:
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
Once done you can do the following to extract:
7z e <file_name>.tar.7z
To extract with full paths:
7z x <file_name>.tar.7z
To specify a path to extract to:
7z x <file_name>.tar.7z -opath
7z does not allow spaces between -o
and path.
