7z GUI Linux

A GUI for 7-zip on Linux with all the advanced features that you are used to.

Uses p7zip installed on your system as the backend. Doesn't require any other dependency to run.


Please leave a star if you find it useful!


Note by dev: The tool is tested by me for my personal use and works pretty nice. But it's still very early in development. If you find any issues, please let me know via GitHub Issues.

Table of Contents

Usage

  1. Download from the official website.
  2. Extract.
  3. Right click -> Properties -> Permissions -> Make executable
  4. Double click the file to open.

A few notes:

  • You need p7zip installed on your system to use this utility.
  • You will be prompted to install p7zip if you do already have it. In that case, you will be required to put your password. You DO NOT need to install p7zip via 7z-GUI-Linux, and can install it on your own.
  • Apart from the one specific scenario discussed above (i.e., you not having p7zip already installed), you do not need sudo privilege to use 7z-GUI-Linux, and it is advised that you run it normally (double-click), with least privileges.

Other tools

Looking for a throttlestop alternative for you Intel CPU on Linux? Try our other tool: undervolt-go. It comes with all the risks of a system level utility, though.

What is Softorage?

Softorage is a software discovery platform with user privacy and safety as its main characteristics. It also allows you to get the software on your computer, but with a distinction. Instead of hosting the packages (which involves risks of package manipulation, and is a well known malware vector), it simply links you to the official developer's website. This helps ensure that you get the software package as the original developers intended.
