Install 7Zip or p7zip on Ubuntu

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

7zip Other day I downloaded a .7z file and I assumed that the file will be opened out of the blue with my archive manager. Apparently I was wrong and realized that I cannot open the .7z file. So I decided to install 7zip on my Ubuntu machine. The package for Linux is called as p7zip. You can install it using synaptic, however there’s a new version which is available and we’ll install the new version. Let’s see how to install p7zip alpha on your Jaunty machine:

1. Download p7zip alpha deb (p7zip_9.04~dfsg.1-1_i386.deb) from the following page:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/p7zip/download

2. Double click the download p7zip_9.04~dfsg.1-1_i386.deb file to begin the installation

7zip

Now you should be able to open the .7z files on your Ubuntu machine.

BTW do you know an update link for the p7zip-full (+7za). The debian.deb update the p7zip (7zr)

Vivek,

Many thanks for the tips.
There is much improvement with v 9.04 at high compression -mx=9
and one click on a .deb is faster than 3 commands to compile a .tar

Francois MAROT

Ok sorry, I red too fast and didn't see you mention synaptic ;)
Vivek

@Francois,

I mentioned in my post that the standard way is the prefered way. However, if someone wanted to use a newer version of 7zip they could download the deb file directly. I totally think that synaptic is better in terms of handling dependencies. Glad to see your remarks on the same :)
Francois MAROT

Why not simply use synaptic (which provides p7zip too, in a standard way and manages dependancies) ?!
