Compress / Decompress

If no special compression is needed, use the .tar format. It only packages files without compression, which is fast and efficient for files like images and videos that are already compressed.

Arc Compression Tool

Since the installation packages for tools like zip and rar typically support only one type of compression or decompression, we provide a small utility that supports the following formats:

Compression/Packaging	Decompression/Unpacking
`.zip`, `.tar`	`.tar`, `.zip`, `.rar`, `.7z`

The provided URL for downloading the arc tool may not be accessible due to network issues or potential problems with the link itself. If you encounter difficulties, please check the validity of the URL and ensure it is correctly formatted. Retrying the download after some time or from a different network may resolve the issue.

bash

# Download and Install
curl -L -o /usr/bin/arc http://gpuhub-public.ks3-sig-sig1.ksyun.com/tool/arc && chmod +x /usr/bin/arc

# Compress/Package
arc compress xxx.zip path/to/directory

# Decompress/Unpack
arc decompress xxx.zip

# Or decompress to a specific directory:
arc decompress xxx.zip path/to/directory

If a ZIP file cannot be decompressed using the above command or the unzip command, first check the file size. If the file size matches the original, try the following command:

bash

apt-get update && apt-get install -y fastjar
jar xvf xxx.zip

Commonly Used Compression Tool

zip

bash

# Compress: If the zip command is not installed, install it using:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y zip

# Then compress the directory:
zip -r <custom_archive_name>.zip <path_to_directory_to_compress>

# Decompress: If the unzip command is not installed, install it using:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y unzip  

# Then decompress the ZIP file:
unzip <archive_name>.zip -d <path_to_extract>

tar

bash

# Compress (packing without compression, 
# recommended for files that are already compressed like images):
tar -cf <custom_archive_name>.tar <path_to_directory_to_compress>
# Decompress:
tar -xf <archive_name>.tar -C <path_to_extract>

tar.gz

bash

# Compress:
tar -czf <custom_archive_name>.tar.gz <path_to_directory_to_compress>
# Decompress:
tar -xzf <archive_name>.tar.gz -C <path_to_extract>

rar

Not Recommended: RAR packages are not commonly used on Linux.

Decompress: If the unrar command is not installed, install it using:

bash

apt-get update && apt-get install -y unrar
# Then decompress the RAR file:
unrar e <archive_name>.rar
