As an example yesterday, I told you how to download the WordPress installation stuff. So, I might as well tell you how to untar (or, unzip?) it! It's simple really.
Go to the directory you want to unzip it to...
cd /var/www/wordpress/
And then unzip it...
tar xfz /home/shamess/downloads/latest.tar.gz
Here's what those options do...
|
x |
Tells tar to extract it, rather than archive something |
|
f |
Tells tar that you're giving it an archived file |
|
z |
Tells tar that it's also a gunzipped (.gz) file. |
Some people like to add v too, which shows you a list of the files as it unzips them.
