Runzip

Simple program that unzips/decompresses/dewinrarifies whatever you throw at it.

Installation

1. Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/Rickard-Martensson/runzip.git

2. Navigate to the runzip folder

cd runzip

3. Make script executable

chmod +x runzip.py

Setup

Create a symlink to make runzip accessible from any directory:

sudo ln -s /path/to/your/runzip/runzip.py /usr/local/bin/runzip

Replace /path/to/your/runzip.py with the actual path where you have runzip.py.

For me, that is /home/rickard/Code/python/runzip/runzip.py

Dependencies

Before using the runzip.py script, make sure you have the following dependencies installed on your Arch Linux system:

• unzip: For extracting ZIP files.
• tar: For extracting TAR files.
• gzip: For decompressing GZ files.
• p7zip: For decompressing 7z files.

You can install these dependencies using the pacman package manager. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S unzip tar gzip

Usage

To unzip a file, simply type

runzip <filename>

If you want to test it out, you can use any of the 4 sample files. ie:

runzip sample_zipped/sample.tar.bz2

Good luck!

Supported File Types

• .zip
• .tar
• .gz
• .tar.bz2
