Opening a tar.gz file

[CTPC]

I have tried using tar tzf and tar xzf. What are the linux commands to open a tar.gz file?

I Googled "What are the linux commands to open a tar.gz file?"

Top of the list was https://www.interserver.net/tips/kb/extract-tar-gz-files-using-linux-command-line/

You can do it in two steps.

gunzip myarchive.tar.gz (this will remove the .gz extension)

tar xvf myarchive.tar

or you can do it in one step

tar xzvf myarchive.tar.gz
