# How do I extract a tar.gz or .tgz file?
# Files with extension tar.gz or .tgz are tar files compressed with gzip. On Unix system extract them with following command:
gunzip < file.tar.gz | tar xvf - $ gunzip < file.tgz | tar xvf -
# If you have GNU tar (Linux system) you can use the z option directly
# -f option must be last because it defines the file
tar -xvzf file.tar.gz
tar -xvzf file.tgz
# How do I extract a gz file?

$ ls -l
