7zip and zip support in Ubuntu

7zip and zip support in Ubuntu

Once I downloaded a 7z file and it wouldnt open. First I thought that the archive was corrupted so I downloaded it from another mirror and I got the same error.
Then I realised that Ubuntu doesnt come with support for .zip and .7z archives allthough Linux Mint does have support for .zip and .7z by default.

To open .zip and .7z archives in Ubuntu open terminal and type:

For .zip

sudo apt-get install unrar-free 

For .7z

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full 

These small things are annoying for beginners. Ill add them to my installscript for the next version of Ubuntu.
