This is my first post on this forum, so excuse me if i forgot a rule in this topic. i’m using Parrot 4.6 (64-bit) since 1 week, and i’m familiar with linux (only debian distro) since 3 months. Previously i use Xubuntu 18.10.
Sorry for this introduction, so here is my problem : i am a developper, and i want install Firefox Developper Edition on my ParrotOS. I followed differents tutorials to install a tar.gz/tar.bz2 file in Ubuntu/Debian, but none works. I was thinking the mistake take from me (that’s surely that), and i ask tips to Ubuntu Forum, I was told to go directly to the forum of my distro. The original post was here
So, when i extract the file with tar -zxvf firefox-70.0b2.tar.bz2, i see this error message :
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
What’s the problem ?
Incidentally, I am very happy to join the community parrot, and hope to make my contribution
It tells you what the problem is, it’s not gzip. You used the “x” switch for the tar command which corresponds to gzip. Bzip2 uses a different letter (hint: it’s not b)
