7-Zip for Linux

7-Zip for Linux, does such a thing exist?

I mean actually 7-Zip or a port, not another compression tool or command.

If you use Debian or Ubuntu it is in the standard repositories (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/p7zip), so you can install it with as little as:

aptitude install p7zip

Or for the full version that includes archive creation and other format support (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/p7zip-full):

aptitude install p7zip-full

There are no doubt packages for it in the official repositories for most other distributions too, probably with the same package names.

1its text mode only, but it runs under wine decently – alpha1 – 2009-09-07T07:14:05.683

@alpha1 You do not have it to run it under Wine if you do as this answers describes. With it you can use both the command line version and through File Roller. – N.N. – 2012-04-16T06:23:16.263

PeaZip - a Linux 7-Zip port; supports all file formats that 7-Zip supports. The GUI of PeaZip is also nicer than 7-Zip's.

You can always run 7-Zip in Wine. It runs flawlessly.

You can also run Firefox, but why? The native port is perfect and ties into the file-roller interface. – salmonmoose – 2009-09-07T05:34:45.133

cause fileroller and ark and them all suck something bad. PEazip is better and runs the same gui on all platorms – alpha1 – 2009-09-07T07:15:09.723

Hmm. Never heard of PeaZip before. Personally, I just use atool. – Ryan C. Thompson – 2009-09-07T23:10:23.917

Yeah, you can download source code from the download page and then compile it, or there are also some unofficial packages for Linux available on the very same page.
