How can I unpack .7z files via MacOS terminal?
Looking to unpack a bunch of files.7z via terminal.
Is there a command-line tool built in, available or I shall install an application that comes with a graphical interface?
You can install p7zip
with Homebrew. So
% brew install p7zip
% 7za x myfiles.7z
Installing Homebrew as @EraserPencil suggested makes sense as the OP might need more programs in the future, which would be at his fingertips then. You can install Homebrew with
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
It should be noted there is 7z e
as well but as commented by @Qback, this does almost never do what you want if you have subdirectories in the archive.
The command line version of Unarchive can extract .7z files.
