No package lrzip available.

Answer 1

CentOS 8 is EOL. You should look into upgrading to a different distribution ASAP.

---

If packages for some software are not available for your distribution, you can still build the software yourself. For small programs like lrzip, this should be relatively easy, too.

According to the README file you need the following libraries/compilers/tools:

• gcc
• bash or zsh
• pthreads
• tar
• libc
• libm
• libz-dev
• libbz2-dev
• liblzo2-dev
• liblz4-dev
• coreutils
• Optional nasm
• glibc or comparable libc

Distributions often have a build-essential (or similar) meta-package that installs all the usual stuff (Make, GCC, glibc-dev, …) for compiling software.

You can get the source code either using Git or as a snapshot from the project’s releases page.

If everything is set, building should then be as easy as:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j 4 # where 4 is your CPU/core count

If it worked, you can install it:

sudo make install

By default (no special ./configure arguments), the binaries will end up in /usr/local/bin, which may not be in $PATH.

Alternatively, you can also run it directly from the source directory.

Answer 2

If you are on a Unix system, to uncompress *.Z or *.tar.Z files, at the shell prompt, enter:

  uncompress *.Z

Use the ls command to check the resulting files. If uncompress creates a .tar file, you must extract the files by entering:

  tar -xvf *.tar

Alternatively, to do this in one step and avoid creating the intermediate *.tar file, enter:

  zcat *.Z | tar -xvf -

For more information, refer to the online manual by entering:

  man tar
  man uncompress
  man zcat
