Open source compression software 7-Zip released first official version of Linux

The well-known open-source compression software 7-Zip declared two days ago that it officially launched the first official version of Linux .

7-Zip for Linux has four versions of AMD64, ARM64, x86, and armhf. It runs in console mode and currently has no graphical interface.

The developer Pavlov stated in the 7-zip launch page that the binary files of 7-Zip for Linux are compiled by GCC without any -static switch.

The compiled 32-bit executable files cannot work in some ARM64 and AMD64 systems. It may be that some required .so files are missing.

There was a tool named p7zip that previously supported the 7-Zip file format, but this tool is not officially maintained by 7-Zip, so this Linux version is launched as the first official Linux version of 7-Zip.
