LinuxHub » Install 7Zip or p7zip on Ubuntu

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

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

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

@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

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
