Opening 7z files via Archive manager?

[aigle]

How can I open and create .7z files via Ubuntu,s default Archive manager. I was able to do so for rar files by this command.

sudo apt-get install rar unrar

Is there such a command for 7z files?

Thanks

Hi aigle:

P7zip is in the repos (universe).

[aigle]

If I install peazip, will it work vua default right click menu Extract Here?

Thanks

[steve161]

Yes. There are 3 choices in the repos. I have p7zip-full. It has always worked well from the context menu (although I do not open those files too often).

[aigle]

ok, it works.

sudo apt-get -y install unrar p7zip p7zip-full

and then use default archive manager.

thanks

... use it also for password protecting archives etc.
