How to extract an iso

In order to extract an ISO you need to do it via SSH. Just follow these easy steps:

  1. Login to your account via SSH

  2. Go to the folder where your ISO is located by using the cd command (e.g. cd files/downloads )

  3. Extract the ISO by using the following command:

7z x -y -oOUTPUT_ DIRECTORY YOUR_ ISO.iso

That's it! Your ISO should now be inside the output directory you've specified.

Have in mind that you can only extra data .isos in this way. Bluray or DVD Video isos, have a completely different format and require special apps written for this purpose in order to be extracted.
