How to curl and unzip to a certain directory? [duplicate]
1 answer
What is the correct way to curl to stdout, then untar (a zip file in that case) to a specific directory?
This failed:
curl URL | tar -x > /path
So I thought of this which also failed:
curl URL | tar -x > /path
directory tar curl stdout

Why would you untar a zip file rather than unzipping it? Or is it a gzip file containing a tar archive? gzip and zip are two different things.

unzipcannot unzip from standard input, as stated in its manual page. You will have to write to a temporary file,unzipit, and delete the file.

Duplicate of How to redirect output of wget as input to unzip? (wget and curl are interchangeable in this context). Please see this answer. Replicating it here:
wget URL -O path/temp.zip; unzip -d path path/temp.zip; rm path/temp.zip
Replace URL and path accordingly.

Maybe this will work:
curl URL > /path && tar -xvf /path

The||is a logical 'or' operator. It will cause thetarcommand to only be executed if thecurlcommand returns a failure exit code. I asw your answer only because I offered to help new contributors to this site by offering advice, so I guess the advice would be to try out your answer before posting it. You may have meant to use the logical 'and' operator&&.
