How to unzip on Amazon Linux 2? [closed]

Question

I have a file names awscliv2.zip and I'm trying to unzip it.

So first I tried:

unzip awscliv2.zip

But got:

-bash: unzip: command not found

And then I tried:

tar xvf awscliv2.zip

But got:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

tar: Skipping to next header

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Consider using Python's zipfile module. That said, Stack Overflow is only for questions about writing code; a question about available tools on a specific Linux distro is a better fit for Unix & Linux or Super User. – Feverfew

You can install unzip using:

sudo yum install unzip

If you are using Amazon-Linux 2 then unzip package is already install. you can fire the command like this ``` unzip your-file.zip```. – Odum

it seems it is not installed, you can install using sudo apt-get install zip unzip – Odum
