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.
- .rar
- .sda
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:
- .bz2 : bunzip2 file.bz2
- .tar : tar xvf file.tar
- .tar.gz : tar xvzf file.tar
- .tgz : tar xvzf file.tgz
- .zip : unzip file.zip
