How to Use 7Zip in Ubuntu and Other Linux [Quick Tip]
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
_**Brief: Cannot extract .7z file in Linux? Learn how to install and use 7zip in Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.**_
|
||||
|
||||
[7Zip][1] (properly written as 7-Zip) is an archive format hugely popular among Windows users. A 7Zip archive file usually ends in .7z extension. It’s mostly an open source software barring a few part of the code that deals with unRAR.
|
||||
|
||||
The 7Zip support is not enabled by default in most Linux distributions. If you try to extract it, you may see this error:
|
||||
|
||||
_**Could not open this file type
|
||||
There is no command installed for 7-zip archive files. Do you want to search for a command to open this file?**_
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Don’t worry, you can easily install 7zip in Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
The one problem you’ll notice if you try to use the [apt-get install command][3], you’ll see that there are no installation candidate that starts with 7zip. It’s because the 7Zip package in Linux is named [p7zip][4]., start with letter ‘p’ instead of the expected number ‘7’.
|
||||
|
||||
Let’s see how to install 7zip in Ubuntu and (possibly) other distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install 7Zip in Ubuntu Linux
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
First thing you need is to install the p7zip package. You’ll find three 7zip packages in Ubuntu: p7zip, p7zip-full and p7zip-rar.
|
||||
|
||||
The difference between p7zip and p7zip-full is that p7zip is a lighter version providing support only for .7z while the full version provides support for more 7z compression algorithms (for audio files etc).
|
||||
|
||||
The p7zip-rar package provides support for [RAR files][6] along with 7z.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing p7zip-full should be sufficient in most cases but you may also install p7zip-rar for additional support for the rar file.
|
||||
|
||||
p7zip packages are in the [universe repository in Ubuntu][7] so make sure that you have enabled it using this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository universe
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use the following command to install 7zip support in Ubuntu and Debian based distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt install p7zip-full p7zip-rar
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That’s good. Now you have 7zip archive support in your system.

### Extract 7Zip archive file in Linux
|
||||
|
||||
With 7Zip installed, you can either use the GUI or the command line to extract 7zip files in Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
In GUI, you can extract a .7z file as you extract any other compressed file. You right click on the file and proceed to extract it.
|
||||
|
||||
In terminal, you can extract a .7z archive file using this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
7z e file.7z
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Compress a file in 7zip archive format in Linux
|
||||
|
||||
You can compress a file in 7zip archive format graphically. Simply right click on the file/directory, and select **Compress**. You should see several types of archive format options. Choose .7z for 7zip.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can also use the command line. Here’s the command that you can use for this purpose:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
7z a OutputFile files_to_compress
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the archived file will have .7z extension. You can compress the file in zip format by specifying the extension (.zip) of the output file.
|
||||
|
||||
**Conclusion**
|
||||
|
||||
That’s it. See, how easy it is to use 7zip in Linux? I hope you liked this quick tip. If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know the comment sections.
