do you need to extract a zip file but
you're on a Linux system don't worry
it's not very hard I'm Dom pizzette and
this is an IT Pro TV quick byte to
extract a zip archive we can just use
the unzip utility it's included in most
Linux distros but it's not in yours you
can do a quick app install unzip or a
yum install unzip depending on your
distro once it's installed the unzip
utility itself is pretty straightforward
looking at my folder here I've got a zip
file called books dot zip if I want to
extract right here into this folder I
can just type unzip books dot zip and
when I run that it's going to extract
those files and I can see I now have
those txt files right here in my folder
couldn't be easier now if I wanted to
extract to a different directory it's
not much harder I can say unzip books
dot zip and then at the end I can add a
dash D and specify a destination or a
directory that I want to extract to so
maybe I want to extract this to my home
folder slash backups and so now I can
run it and it's gonna extract to that
other location I can see the file paths
right there that it's restoring to that
other folder so pretty straightforward
to do unzip followed by the file name or
unzip followed by the file name with a
dash D and a destination directory well
if you want to learn more things that
you can do from Linux in the
command-line be sure to check out our
website over at IT pro TV I hope you
enjoyed this I've been Dom pizzette and
