How do you unzip a tra.gz file
I have just got a ta.gz file form the internet. Its a dictionary for php code words. Its in a tar.gz file. What would I type into the terminal to unzip it.
I unzipped an apache server but that was using some dos language that seemed very specific. I think its just a series of html files. It was probably so basic that they did not give any instructions on how to unzip it.
lets just say that the file name is phpinfo.tar.gz

You can also extract the files with tar. Type "man tar" in your terminal for further information; the most common way is probably "tar xvf archive.tar.gz"

Try
tar zxvf phpinfo.tar.gz
You need "z" for gz files while 'j' for "bz2" type of files
