Once you have an archive, you can extract it with the tar command. The following command will extract the contents of archive.tar.gz to the current directory.
tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz
It’s the same as the archive creation command we used above, except the -x switch replaces the -c switch. This specifies you want to extract an archive instead of create one.
You may want to extract the contents of the archive to a specific directory. You can do so by appending the -C switch to the end of the command. For example, the following command will extract the contents of the archive.tar.gz file to the /tmp directory.
tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz -C /tmp
If the file is a bzip2-compressed file, replace the “z” in the above commands with a “j”.
