If you have archive files having different formats and wondering how to unzip them under a Linux-based system (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.), then here are some commands that you can use via the terminal to extract the contents of the various archive file formats:
zip:
gunzip file_name.zip
rar:
First install "unrar" with this command:
sudo apt-get install unrar
Use now this command to unpack rar files:
unrar x file_name.rar
tar:
tar -xvf file_name.tar
tar.gz:
tar -vzxf file_name.tar.gz
bz2:
bunzip file_name.bz2
tar.bz2:
tar -jxvf file_name.tar.bz2
That's it!
