unable to unzip to opt directory
5
I'm trying to install jstock to the /opt directory. I'm getting the below error.
jstockis in the~/Downloadsdirectory.- The file name is correct.
Kindly guide.
navjeet@navjeet-Lenovo-G50-80:~/Downloads$ sudo unzip jstock-1.0.7.17 bin.zip -C /opt
[sudo] password for navjeet:
Archive: jstock-1.0.7.17-bin.zip
caution: filename not matched: -C
caution:filename not matched: /opt
navjeet@navjeet-Lenovo-G50-80:~/Downloads$
Note: bin.zip and -C are separated by space, though it looks otherwise.
command-line unzip

Took me a few minutes to see what you were doing wrong. You are using tar syntax for unzip and they aren't compatible. You want to run this:
sudo unzip -d /opt/ jstock-1.0.7.17-bin.zip
For tar the syntax is tar xf file.tar -C dir whereas for unzip it's unzip -d dir file.zip
