Shellista

Sorry for the repeated questions, im new to this whole thing but i hav a question, when i used pipista to download a module, it gave me a tar.gz file. Someone told me to use shellista to gunzip untar this file. So first off wher can i find the tar.gz file and also how does one use shellista? As in can someone show me a code snippet? Thank you

Can someone please help me???

Shellista is a commandline tool that emulates a UNIX shell. My recommendation would be that you read up on UNIX shells and that you AVOID the rm, rmdir, and mv commands in Shellista until you are comfortable that you know what you are doing.
Run Shellista and then type commands at the commandline prompt (the > at the bottom of the output window):
pwd # This should print the current working directory ls # This should list out the files and directories in the current working directory gunzip my_file.tar.gz # This should uncompress a .gz file untar my_file.tar # This should untar a .tar file quit or exit # This should stop Shellista -
Ok now that i hav unzipped and untarred the module that i downloaded how do i use this module
