7-zip for linux

Question

7-zip for linux, does such a thing exist?

I mean actually 7-zip or a port, not another compression tool or command

Answer 1

If you use Debian or Ubuntu it is in the standard repositories (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/p7zip) so you can install it with as little as

aptitude install pz7ip

or for the full version that includes other archive format support (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/p7zip-full):

aptitude install pz7ip-full

There are no doubt packages for it in the official repos for most other distributions too, probably with the same package names.

Answer 2

yeah, you can download source code from Download page and then compile it or there are also some unofficial packages for linux available on very same page

Answer 3

p7zip is a quick port of 7z.exe and 7za.exe (command line version of 7zip, see www.7-zip.org) for Unix.

Answer 4

As far as I recall the Gnome Archive Manager has built in support for 7zip.

Answer 5

You can always run 7-zip in wine. It runs flawlessly.

Answer 6

PeaZip - uses Myspace's POSIX port of 7z under Linux; supports all file formats that 7-zip supports. The GUI of PeaZip is also nicer than 7-zip's.

Answer 7

The default archive manager in Gnome and Xfce supports read/writing 7zip files. (I'm assuming it's builtin).
