What Corion is telling you above is to ask your systems admin if the command bunzip2 is already installed. On lots of Linux systems this command is installed as part of the OS. If the sysadmin's answer is "yes", then you can use the technique above that Corion has shown you.

For example, below is my login session to Linux system which I do not control, but it has the bunzip2 command already installed.

[myid@corphost4~](155) $ uname Linux [myid@corphost4 ~](156) $ bunzip2 --help bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor. Version 1.0.3, 15-Feb-2005. usage: bunzip2 [flags and input files in any order] -h --help print this message -d --decompress force decompression -z --compress force compression -k --keep keep (don't delete) input files -f --force overwrite existing output files -t --test test compressed file integrity -c --stdout output to standard out -q --quiet suppress noncritical error messages -v --verbose be verbose (a 2nd -v gives more) -L --license display software version & license -V --version display software version & license -s --small use less memory (at most 2500k) -1 .. -9 set block size to 100k .. 900k --fast alias for -1 --best alias for -9 [myid@corphost4 ~](157) $ which bunzip2 /usr/bin/bunzip2
