Here’s how you can unzip a zip file using the Linux and Unix bash shell terminal:
- Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the zip file is located.
- Use the following command to unzip the zip file:
unzip <file name>.zip
Replace <file name>
with the name of the zip file you want to unzip. The contents of the zip file will be extracted to the current directory. You can use the -d
option to specify a different directory to extract the contents to:
unzip <file name>.zip -d <directory>
Replace <directory>
with the path to the directory you want to extract the contents to. The contents of the zip file will be extracted to the specified directory.
