In other words, if you tar 100 files of 50kB, you will end up with an archive whose size will be around 5000kB. One key thing to remember is a plain tar file is just an archive whose data are not compressed. Even if nowadays tape drives are unknown to the vast majority of individual Linux users, tarballs - the nickname of tar archives - are still commonly used to package several files or even entire directory tree (or even forests) into a single file. The tar utility was designed as a way to efficiently write many files on tapes. In some cold morning of January 1979, the tar utility made its appearance as part of the newly released Unix V7. These files can be opened in Excel or Numbers.Like many things about Unix & Unix-like systems, the story starts a long long time ago, in a not so distant galaxy called the seventies.You can now access all of the files by double-clicking on the folder. Navigate back to your Downloads folder, and a new decompressed folder will be there.Once the command has run, a list of unzipped files will appear on the command line.Next, type the following command to download the file:ĭon’t forget to replace “” with the name of the file you would like to download!.Pop-up with ‘location’ defining the %userprofile%. Then click the ‘properties’ icon at the top of the page. It will look something like this: C:\Users\Rosalind Franklin\Downloads.ĭon’t forget to replace %userprofile% with your directory, which can be foundīy searching for ‘file explorer’ in the search bar. %userprofile% is how you navigate to the folder, which will be unique to each person. With Command Prompt open, navigate to the Downloads folder by typing the below command and pressing “Enter”.Go to the Windows search bar and type “Command Prompt.”.
On Windows, you can use an app such as 7-Zip or WinRar or follow the command line steps below. To do this on a Mac, you can just double click the file, and it will extract automatically. You need to decompress and open these files to view and use them. When you generate a download in CZ ID that includes multiple files, these are compressed and packaged as a tar.gz file.
