How to open extension archive .tar.gz
A .tar.gz file is a compressed archive similar to zip and RAR files. To extract .tar.gz files on Windows use 7-zip (freeware) or Winzip (commercial). After 7-Zip is installed, try to open your .tar.gz file. 7-Zip will start up and decompress the archive. And if it still doesn’t extract, do it manually via the context menu: right-click on the archive and choose one of the “Extract” options.
Mac OS and Linux OS operating systems can handle .tar.gz file by default. In OS X Just double-click the archive and it will extract to a folder of the same name.
