using tar showing, “No Such file or directory”
0
I have a .gz file on Downloads directory
But when I try to run it using
tar zxvf jre-8u151-linux-i586
I get
tar (child): jre-8u151-linux-i586: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
What is wrong? The name and place matches prefectly.

is your file named "jre-8u151-linux-i586" (without quotes), as the system is reporting there is no file or directory of that name. if.gzwas part of the filename it must be provided as it IS part of the filename.

Also, if the file is justfoo.gz, as opposed tofoo.tar.gz, then you should usegunzip, nottar.

If the intention REALLY is torunit, then tar and/or gunzip is not the solution. tar creates and extracts archive files, gzip/gunzip compresses files.

You forgot the file extension. The correct command is:
tar zxvf jre-8u151-linux-i586.tar.gz
