How to extract a tarball (.tar.gz file) using guiTAR (943Kb)

You can do it from the command line.

Open a terminal or console and type in:
tar -zxf /path_to_file, e.g.

To open a file named foo.tar.gz that is in the /root directory type:

tar -zxf /root/foo.tar.gz

The options for the tar command are:

z - unzip
x - extract
f - file
v - verbose

If you wish to see the contents as they are extracted add the v option.
