Question

Forge

Hi, when I tried to extract the contents from the downloaded zip file, I get the extension .sql.gz and .csv.gz. Is there a specific program I need to use to unzip these files into the correct format?

Thanks

Hello,

.gz files simply indicate it's a compressed file with gzip tools.

A simple zipping like Winzip or 7Zip wiil do the job.

Thanks, It seems like I was just using the extract all default from my windows machine. After downloading 7zip I had to unzip the zip file and then unzip the .gz files. Works perfectly :) Thanks!
