Extracting the maps on a Linux-based system is slightly different than on Windows and Mac OS, but is still possible.

When using a Linux-based OS

Please make sure you have downloaded all part files of your zip archive before beginning. Refer back to Downloading via command line: if you need help.

Part-File Maps must be extracted using 7-Zip. To install, follow below (Ubuntu & Debian based installations):

This version example uses command-line interactions.

First, we need to add the universe repository, as this is where 7-Zip is located.

$ sudo add-apt-repository universe

Next, we make sure to run a repository update:

$ sudo apt update

Now we can install 7-Zip:

$ sudo apt install p7zip-full p7zip-rar

File Type #1 - Part File Zip Extractions

Make sure to go to the location of your split archive/ part files and execute the following command. "MAP_NAME" refers to the download name of your map selected. For example:

earth_1-500_osm-based_with-features_1-17-1

$ 7z x MAP_NAME.zip.001 -tsplit

Optionally, the "-o" argument allows you to define an output location.

File Type #2 - Normal Zip Files/Legacy Maps

Start by running a repository update:

$ sudo apt update

Next, we will install the package unzip if it isn't already installed on your system.

$ sudo apt-get install unzip

Now, while in the same directory as the zip download, run the following command. Replace earth_map with the name of your map, keeping the *.zip suffix.

$ unzip earth_map.zip

File Type #3 - Regional Maps

Start by running a repository update:

$ sudo apt update

Next, we will install the package unzip if it isn't already installed on your system.

$ sudo apt-get install unzip

Now, while in the same directory as the zip download, run the following command. Replace earth_map with the name of your map, keeping the *.zip suffix.

$ unzip earth_map.zip
