install 7zip on linux

gistfile1.txt

In this case, in AWS Linux:

yum-config-manager --enable epel
yum install -y p7ip
cp /usr/bin/7za /usr/bin/7z
7z

The rpm names have changed a bit at least on Amazon Linux AMI release 2014.09

7zip-plugins.x86_64 : Additional plugins for p7zip
p7zip.x86_64 : Very high compression ratio file archiver

Thanks for your gist !

I think

yum install -y p7ip

must be

yum install -y p7zip

?

you may need to sudo yum install -y epel-release first, i.e. if you're building a Docker image FROM amazonlinux:latest

for Amazon Linux 2 :

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
sudo yum install p7zip -y

Thanks

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
sudo yum install p7zip -y

worked for me!

Thank you, on AWS Linux 2 this worked for me:

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
sudo yum install p7zip -y
sudo cp /usr/bin/7za /usr/bin/7z

Thank you, on AWS Linux 2 this worked for me:

I didn't do the last cp command (you just have to use 7za), but this worked brilliantly in AWS CloudShell either. Thanks!

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel sudo yum install p7zip -y sudo cp /usr/bin/7za /usr/bin/7z

@eduardoferron Thanks! This worked for me!
