How to unzip file on Ubuntu Linux
When downloading files from the Internet you will often get an archive. The purpose of an archive among many is to reduce download size, reduce the number of files being downloaded to just one, provide a basic integrity check on the subject files, and sometimes provide additional security with the use of passwords. There are many archive types most commonly used of them are .zip, .rar. .7z, .tar.gz. Today we are going to speak about .zip archives. On Windows, there exist GUI archivers like WinZip, 7zip, or WinRAR, which are able to deal with most of the common archive types. Ubuntu Linux has a built-in Archive Manager that can be invoked by double-clicking on the .zip file in a GUI.
But what can you do when you downloaded a zip file on Ubuntu Linux and have just a bare console? This can happen when you have installed Ubuntu Server or working from a Terminal program.
