Thread: How to extract zip files in Linux

I have couple of zip file but tar command is not working with all .zip file so my question is how to extract zip files in linux?

Use unzip command:

Code:

unzip file.zip

many time unzip is not installed by default so install it before using it, use rpm or apt-get/yum command to install unzip

Use this simple archiver - B1 archiver. It's a nice one - allows opening of different archive formats!

I have installed Linux 32bit in my PC and I have an oracle 32bit in a format of the zip file. But when I install it then an error has occurred there and it cannot execute the file. Why it happened ? What should I do for it?

Yeah that's right I used this command but the problem is that it is not opening some zip files. Is there any other alternative available to this problem.

gunzip for .gz files not a zip

I agree.. But once you feel its capabilities you will never leave it.
