Official Hardware Classic Yún

Hi NoblePepper or Sonnyyu,

How can I unzip files in yun. It is not allowing me to install opkg install unzip.
or
should I use any other tool to install zip file on to a directory in Yun.

Sorry this may be trivial,

Thanks and appreciate for your help

Regards

opkg update

opkg list |grep unzip

unzip - 5.52-1 - InfoZIP's unzip program. With the exception of multi-volume archives (ie, .ZIP files that are split across several disks using PKZIP's /& option),  this can handle any file produced either by PKZIP, or the corresponding  InfoZIP zip program.

opkg install unzip

BTW, this is public forum you could utilize it to put multiple horses on the race track instead of only two. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sonnyyu,

Quick clarification.

Before posting the message: I tried 1 and 4 step
1 opkg update
2. opkg install unzip
But this did not install unzip

what does step 2 and 3 ( outlined by you) will do
opkg list | grep unzip
unzip - 5.52-1 - InfoZIP's unzip program. With the exception of multi-volume archives (ie, .ZIP files that are split across several disks using PKZIP's /& option), this can handle any file produced either by PKZIP, or the corresponding InfoZIP zip program.

Please clarify,
Thanks

opkg list | grep unzip

That looks in the updated package list for the unzip program description

unzip - 5.52-1 - InfoZIP's unzip program. With the exception of multi-volume archives (ie, .ZIP files that are split across several disks using PKZIP's /& option),  this can handle any file produced either by PKZIP, or the corresponding  InfoZIP zip program.

That is the resulting output of step 3) on his Yun. If you do not get that output (or one very close to that), then installing unzip in step 4 will obviously fail....
