Ubuntu – How to unzip a Japanese ZIP file, and avoid mojibake/garbled characters

If the unzip command isn't already installed on your system, then run:

sudo apt-get install unzip

After installing the unzip utility, if you want to extract to a particular destination folder, you can use:

unzip file.zip -d destination_folder

If the source and destination directories are the same, you can simply do:

unzip file.zip

The first issue on installing unzip is because of insufficient permissions. Chances are that you might have tried to install unzip with apt-get install unzip. This is not enough. You need to install unzip by:

sudo apt-get install unzip

Chances are that unzip already exists in your system. It would be the most common scenario. You can verify the install by the command

which unzip

For your second issue, you are seeing a .zip.part extension because the the zip file was not completely downloaded. You can either try to download it again from the same source or choose a different source.
