3.1.2. Extracting the BundleWorks Archive

BundleWorks is distributed as a Gzipped Tar archive (downloadable from http://www.bundleworks.com/downloads.html). The BundleWorks archive contains a directory named bundleworks with a subdirectory named with the current version (1.0b1).

The first step to installing BundleWorks is to extract the archive to a directory on your machine. The following shows extracting BundleWorks into the recommended /opt/bundles directory. It assumes the BundleWorks archive has been downloaded to the /tmp directory.

cd /opt/bundles/
gunzip < /tmp/bundleworks-1.0b1.tgz | tar xf -

If your version of tar supports gzip, you can use the following:

cd /opt/bundles/
tar xzf /tmp/bundleworks-1.0b1.tgz
