unzip: filename not matched

[Seff]

Hello- I'm trying to set up Android Studio on Mint 17.2 MATE. (https://developer.android.com/studio/pr ... eview.html) The problem is, when I try to extract it via command-line I get:

Code: Select all

sudo unzip -xf android-studio-ide-171.3909050-linux.zip -C /usr/local
Archive:  android-studio-ide-171.3909050-linux.zip
caution: filename not matched:  -C
caution: filename not matched:  /usr/local

While I could just unzip the thing from my file manager and set up a script or desktop entry, I want to know why this command fails. Please help.

I was able to extract the file, dropping all the arguments and simply running unzip on it. Odd.

The options you use on the command do not make any sense. See https://explainshell.com/explain?cmd=su ... sr%2Flocal

Perhaps have another read of the unzip manpage.

Thanks. I was given instructions on how to unpack a tar file, but then it turned out Studio is packaged in a zip file.

Double-click the .zip file in your file-browser.

Double-click the .zip file in your file-browser.

Does that give me administrative permissions, though? I think they're needed for anything that's under / rather than /home.

In thunar, I think (but not sure) you can set it to have administrative status. I never done this (always used the terminal - long-time unix user). Take a look

thunar -> edit -> configure custom actions

There is an "open as root" option.

Never used it, so you are on your own. Hopefully you figure it out.
