I have a file ipmenu-0.0.3.tar that I want to do something with. I think I need to untar this thing (?) but I haven't got the faintest idea what I am doing.

I tried #tar xvzf ipmenu.0.0.3.tar as suggested in the FAQ but nothing seemed to happen.

Help.

If it's a plain tar file, use ' tar xvf ipmenu.0.0.3.tar '. Leave out the ' z '. ' z ' is for unzipping a ' .gz ' file. Make sure that you ' cd ' into the directory the file is in before running the command.
