Extracting the Archive File

The archive file has been archiving with the tar command and compressing with gzip. It can be extracted using the following command. (“$” at the beginning of the command string represents a prompt.)

$ tar xzf FrontISTR_V50.tar.gz

If the tar command in the environment where this software is to be installed does not support the z option, the archive file can be extracted using the following command:

$ gzip –dc FrontISTR_V50.tar.gz | tar xf –

If the archive file is extracted, a directory named “FrontISTR” will be created in the directory where the archive file has been extracted. (This directory is hereafter referred to a “${FSTRBUILDDIR}”.)
