How To Read Tar Files |
|
tar -cvzf b020927.tgz ReleaseThis creates a gzip'd tar file of the entire release directory. The so called tarball is easily distributed and installed on most systems. We've tried three. Here is what worked for us. Unix To install on unix go to the directory where you would like the Release directory to reside and extract with tar. tar -xvzf b020927.tgzor, if you don't have gnu tar, try gunzip < b020927.tgz | tar -xvf -Windows To install on windows use a file expansion utility like win-zip. double-clidk b020927.tgz (to open winzip) coose ExtractMacintosh To install on Machintosh use a file expansion utility like stuff-it expaner. drop b020927.tgz on to the stufit-expander icon.
