  To unzip a file in Linux using the terminal, first ensure that the utility is installed on your system. If it’s not available, you can install it using your system’s package manager. unzip Once installed, you can extract the contents of a ZIP file by using the unzip command followed by the file name, which will place the files in your current directory. If you want to extract the files to a specific location, you can provide the path to the desired directory. Before extracting, you can also list the contents of the ZIP file to review its files. In cases where files with the same name already exist in the destination, you can configure the process to overwrite them automatically, ensuring a smooth extraction. This method is straightforward and works efficiently for handling ZIP files in Linux.
