- Description
- A DEB file is a standard Unix archive that contains two bzipped or gzipped archives, one for the installer control information and another for the actual installable data. DEB files are often used for software installation packages.
- This is a compressed archive in the TAR container with the help of the BZIP tool. It was created for use in Unix systems. The TAR container combines several files into one archive that’s placed in a TBZ compressed file. They’re used as installation packets in the installers of some operating systems.
