<h2>7-Zip</h2>
2023-03-21 21:41:18 +00:00
<p><a href="https://www.7-zip.org/download.html">Download</a></p>
<p>7-Zip needs to be installed in two parts.</p>
First, the standalone <code>7zr.exe</code> binary should be downloaded.
This can stay in the Downloads directory as it will only be needed once.</p>
<p>Second, the <em>64-bit Windows x64</em> installer (<code>.exe</code>) should be downloaded.
This should be extracted using the previous standalone executable.</p>
<pre><code>mkdir %USERPROFILE%\opt\7zip
cd %USERPROFILE%\opt\7zip
%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\7zr.exe x %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\7z2201-x64.exe</code></pre>
<p>The 7zip path can then be added to the <code>%PATH%</code> environment variable.</p>
