Extracting the downloaded archive

After you have downloaded the installation or upgrade archive file onto the target BMC Digital Workplace Catalog server, extract the package files from the archive so that you can perform the appropriate operation.

Before you begin

Download the installation or upgrade files, as described in the following topics:

• Downloading the BMC Digital Workplace Catalog installation files
• Downloading the BMC Digital Workplace Catalog upgrade files

To extract the files from the archive

1. While logged in to the BMC Digital Workplace Catalog server, locate the archive file that you downloaded.

   • For installation: digital-workplace-catalog<YY.RR>.tar.gz

2. Create a folder where you will extract the installation or upgrade package, and navigate to the folder.

   Example

   [root@server-example Downloads]$ mkdir extract
   [root@server-example Downloads]$ cd extract
   [root@server-example extract]$ 

3. Extract the installation package files into the current folder.

   Example

   [root@server-example extract]# tar xzvf ../digital-workplace-catalog20.02.tar.gz
   
   OR
   
   [root@server-example extract]# tar xzvf ../digital-workplace-catalog-upgrade20.02.tar.gz

4. View the extracted files in the current folder, and verify that the main installation or upgrade file appears in the list.
