Gunzip files

[Justin Glass]

I need to install a file with a gunzip extension, but when I try to do so I receive an error message saying ".gz not found". Do I need to install gunzip and how would I go about doing that?

Hi:

Try:

# /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip

Regards!

Justin

The " .gz not found " just looks as though the command you have attempted has not recognised the .gz extension

do

ll

What do you see ?

Try and zip another file to check

gzip

Read a gunzipped file

gzip -cd | more

Unzip a file

gunzip

Hope this helps

Hello,

#/usr/contrib/bin/gunzip

#/usr/contrib/bin/gunzip -h (for help reg. gunzip)

THanks

Hi,

if your OS is 11.0/11i, gunzip comes along with OS. If OS is 10.2 then u need to download and install.

two posibilities:
- the file is actually not compressed/gzipped; in this case you are done.
- the file is gzipped, but misses the .gz extension; you can move or copy the file:
mv file file.gz
gunzip file.gz

Hi

And to add /usr/contrib/bin to your $PATH

#PATH=$PATH:/usr/contrib/bin

You then won't have to type the full path of your command
