The TAR command is Create Tape ARchives and is used by Linux and Unix. Information and explanations can be found on the linfo and computerhope websites.
tar -zxvf <tarball-file>
tar is one of the basic commands in Unix. tar command in unix is used for achriving purpose, you can create archive, update or extract from archieve using tar command in unix.you can also create compressed archieve by combining bzip2 and gzip along with unix tar command
You don't. The 'tar' command has nothing to do with the 'vi' editor; it creates an archive files and the vi editor modifies the content of a file.
in a linux machine : tar -cvf FileOrDirectory.tar FileOrDirectory # or to gzip it at the same time... tar -czvf FileOrDirectory.tgz FileOrDirectory
The 'tar' utility is not usually used to install packages; it would consist of a source package that has to be configured, compiled, and then installed. The tar file you receive usually is in a compressed format as well.The sequence of events with a tar file (sometimes called a tarball) is to do the following:Uncompress the tar file if it is compressedExtract all of the files into a directory with 'tar xvf filename'Run the ./configure command in the root directory of the package if it existsRun the 'make' command on the resultRun the 'make install' command if everything compiled and linked successfully.
In linux command line : tar -zxvf /path_to_your_file/filename.tar.gz
The usual way of copying or moving directories is to use the tar command. The resulting tar file (called a tarball) can also be compressed to save time in moving it to another system. To create a tar file for export, use a command such as: cd directory tar cvf export.tar . This will create a file called export.tar that contains all of the elements of that directory. You could also compress that tar file by: gzip export.tar Which creates an export.tar.gz file. Then, copy or move the file to another place or system. To import it: gunzip export tar if the file was compressed, then use tar to extract the contents: cd directory tar xvf export tar
Transfer tar files in binary mode.WARNING: some ftp clients go back to ascii mode when you enter an ls or dir command. To be safe, always use the binary command before getting a binary file.
The tar utility is not an install/uninstall utility. Typically files downloaded as a tar archive can be extracted, using the tar command, to a specified directory. Then further instructions contained in the extracted files can be followed to complete the installation. Then uninstallation, if desired, would be the reverse of the installation process. Often installation involves use of the make command in conjunction with a makefile contained in the archive. The makefile may include a target suggestively named "clean", for example, for uninstalling the installed files.

Highly viscous tar, such as road tar or cold-applied tar, can be hard to pour because it has a thick and sticky consistency that does not flow easily. This type of tar requires additional heating or agitation to make it more fluid and easier to work with.
From thickest to thinnest: lava, tar, honey, then water.
