Macos Unzip Command Line



Since macOS is based on Unix there are a number of ways to compress files and folders within the filing system using Unix based application code, below are a few options using the Terminal or command line interface (cli). The default command line application interface in macOS is the Terminal and is stored in /Applications/Utilities.

File and folder compression saves on file size and ensures the contents are captured and delivered or stored as one monolithic file. A compressed file which contains files and folders is generally referred to as an archive. Here are some built-in compression applications you can use including zip, tar, gz, bz2, gz and dmg.

ZIP – Cross Platform

First up is ZIP one of the most commonly used compression techniques used across all platforms

  2. I have also faced this issue on my MacOS, I used these simple steps and it worked for me. Just open the terminal and go to your project folder where you what to start ngrok and then unzip downloaded file. $ unzip /path/to/ngrok.zip After doing this you don't need to authenticate ngrok, just run this command./ngrok http 80 It should work now.

To compress

Unzip filename1.zip filename2.zip filename3.zip will unzip multiple files. You can use this with as many zip files as you want, and it’s a lot quicker than doing this in an FTP client. Tar – Create and Unpack Compressed Archives. The tar command will let you create and unpack.tar.gz archives, which is an alternative to using.zip archives.

To extract

If you want to make a zip without those invisible Mac resource files such as “_MACOSX” or “._Filename” and .ds store files, use the “-X” option in the command so:

TAR.GZ – Cross Platform

Second up is TAR, an old favorite on Unix/Linux – you add the GZ for the compression – compresses tighter than zip

TAR.BZ2 – Cross Platform

A variation on TAR GZ but with better compression than both tar.gz and zip.
