Please see the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature.

You have provided ZERO details about what you're asking, so there's not a lot anyone can tell you. Any bz2 file can be uncompress by using the bzip2 command. Type in "bzip2 --help" for details.

1. Open a terminal.
2. Navigate to the folder where the tar.bz2 file is kept.
3. Type this command on the terminal

Code:

tar -jxvf <name of your file>.bz2

You fail to tell us what kind of files are in the tar.bz2 archive so I can't tell you what to do once you've unpacked the files.

unzip the archive as you would ANY ZIPPED ARCHIVE
this is the same as on windows 7 , 8 or a mac !!!!!!

Do a tar -tvf of the bz2 file. Sometimes I prefer to view the contents versus extract if I don't know what's yet contained within the compressed file.

Can you tell us what you did and then mark this thread as [SOLVED]. This will help other users with the same problem as yours.
