The Ark Handbook Chapter 1 Introduction Ark is a program for viewing, extracting, creating and modifying archives. Ark can handle vari- ous archive formats such as tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, rar, 7zip, xz, rpm, cab, deb, xar and AppImage (support for certain archive formats depends on the appropriate command-line programs being installed). In order to successfully use Ark, you need KDE Frameworks 5. The library libarchive version 3.1 or above is needed to handle most archive types, including tar, compressed tar, rpm, deb and cab archives. To handle other file formats, you need the appropriate command line programs, such as zipinfo, zip, unzip, rar, unrar, 7z, lsar, unar and lrzip. 5 The Ark Handbook Chapter 2 Using Ark 2.1 Opening Archives To open an archive in Ark, choose Open...
