Mac OS. I am unable to expand zip file. I have tried this:
Unzip in Terminal:
- Open Terminal.
- Type
unzip
and a space, then drag/drop the zip file into the Terminal window. - Press Enter and the zip file will be unzipped, storing all files on your computer.
When I try to open the zip file, it reads:
unable to expand (error 1- operation not permitted).
Online, p7zip seems to be recommended. Here are instructions:
You can install it via MacPorts or Homebrew with these commands, respectively:
sudo port install p7zip brew install p7zip
Then, to unzip it, use:
7za x file.zip
Please explain the steps to enter this code, I don’t know what it means. But I am glad to learn a new thing!

The Mac Archive Utility doesn't allow you to unzip large files, use the command line.
