Linux file compression software,
Open Source 7Z RAR TAR ZIP extraction
utility
PeaZip is an
Open Source (LGPLv3) cross platform file archiver software, providing
encryption and compression functions, which open and extract
over 180 archive types including mainstream formats like 7Z / XZ / TXZ,
ACE (*), BZ2 / TBZ, GZ / TGZ, ISO, RAR, TAR, WIM, ZIP, ZIPX and more.
Free
Software alternative to replace WinRar, WinZip and similar propietary
utilities
on
GNU/Linux systems, PeaZip provides high
compression ratio (compress to
7Z, ARC, PAQ formats), supports
encryption / decryption of several
archive types, supporting multiple
encryption standards (AES, Serpent, Twofish, Blowfish), open and extract proprietary formats
(unace, unrar),
provide secure delete function
(permanent, non
recoverable data erasure), compute file hash and checksum to find
duplicate content and verify data integrity, split and join files.
(*) Extraction of ACE archives requires separate unace plugin
(closed source) available on PeaZip
add-ons page.
Extraction of RAR / RAR5 archives is natively supported (p7zip Open
Source unrar implementation), separate linux unrar
plugin
- based on RarLab's code - is provided solely as alternative rar
extraction engine.
Compression to ACE and RAR archives is not supported due the closed
nature
of the formats.

PEAZIP FOR LINUX X86-64 DOWNLOAD
NOTES
PeaZip
Portable x86-64 is a native build for Linux
x86 64 bit and does not
require ia-32 libraries to be installed in order to work, but please
note some 32 bit-only backend binaries may still require ia-32 libs -
once 64 bit executables are available, they can be freely replaced in
PeaZip's directory to 32 bit binaries, due the modular nature of this
software.
PeaZip for Linux
pre-built packages are targeted to a generic Linux machine, and are not
built for a specific distribution or version. PeaZip source
package (LGPLv3, written for Lazarus/FPC) is available for
compiling the application.
Whenever it is possible, it is
recommended to install a distribution / version specific package from
official repositories of your Linux distribution rather than the
generic packages here provided.
If a distribution / version specific build of PeaZip is not available
for your Linux system, it is a very welcome help to PeaZip project if
you request to your repository maintainers to add it.
|
The
"(all)" packages are x86 32 bit build (that consequently requires
ia-32 libraries to run on 64 bit systems) with architecture check
de-activated to allow installation on 64 bit operating systems.
Some package managers may complain of the architecture check being
de-activated in binary packages (i.e. Ubuntu
Software Center will prompt "This package is of bad quality") because
this mechanism is usually employed to pack non-binary content such as
documentation and media rather than applications; this will also raise
similar warning in Lintian, informing that architecture-independent
package contains binary.
You can try alternative package managers like dpkg, apt-get, aptitude,
and synaptic.

|
32
bit packages
(GTK2 and Qt DEB, RPM, TGZ) found on
the GNU/Linux x86 download page
can
be
installed on x86-64 systems if ia-32 libs are present and architecture
check is disabled when installing.

ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOADS FOR LINUX
Here you
can find some external
software repositories, some providing custom compile / build /
packaging
of PeaZip
file archiver utility for GNU/Linux: distribution/version -specific
packages are usually recommended over generic packages provided on
PeaZip domain
LINUX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GTK2 version
packages
may require to
install some components of gtk/gdk libraries, as i.e. libgdk_pixbuf,
see full list of dependencies
for
installing GTK2 packages.
Qt version packages requires Qt 4.3.4 or more recent, and needs
libqt4intf.so
and libqt4pas5 installed; it is recommended you install most up to date
missing libraries using distribution-specific methods and tools, i.e.
apt-get
install libqt4pas5:i386. See full list of dependencies
for installing Qt packages.
To reduce the dependencies the installers has to satisfy to
successfully run on the host system, all backend binaries (except
p7zip) were moved to Optional
Formats plugin external package (see optional formats dependencies
list),
which
is needed for Linux installable versions to handle arc, lpaq, paq,
zpaq, quad, and upx. To install this package, simply extract the tar.gz
package content to PeaZip's res/ directory. This package is optional
and it is
meant only for Linux installable
versions, Portable versions already comes with all the backend binaries
to handle extra archive formats.
FreeDesktop_integration directory in PeaZip directory provides sample
scripts to
customize integration of installable version, and for system
integration (file associations,
compression/archiving and
extraction context menu entries, program's icons) of Portable version
so it can fully replace the installable package.
If installable versions of PeaZip file compression utility does not
work on the
target machine due dependencies or other incompatibility issues with
package management tools, please consider as alternative to replace it
with the Portable
version.
Portable packages (TAR.GZ
format) can be simply extracted and launched
starting peazip executable - starting "peazip" binary in console
provides
more feedback in case of problems running the application.
An utter alternative (which can also be used for 7-Zip) can be running
one of PeaZip Windows packages through Wine
- as for other Windows file compression utilities like Winrar or
WinZip, but with the advantage of replacing proprietary software with
a Free Software alternative tool.
