How do u install tar.gz packages from terminal.
cd install-directory
tar xvfz tar.gz directory/file-name.tar.gz
or am I missing something?
Are you trying to install a software package with a name like
foobar.tgz? You have to use the pkg_add tool.
If you just want to unzip it, then tar xzvf $archive will do, or tar
xjvf $archive if it's compressed with bzip2 (*.tar.bz2) instead of
gzip (*.tar.gz)
Does this help?
