Just looking for a simple solution to downloading and unzipping .zip or .tar.gz files in Node.js on any operating system.

Answer 1

I tried a few of the nodejs unzip libraries including adm-zip and unzip, then settled on extract-zip which is a wrapper around yauzl. Seemed the simplest to implement.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/extract-zip

var extract = require('extract-zip')
extract(zipfile, { dir: outputPath }, function (err) {
   // handle err
})
