How to install SOAPdenovo-2

Question

[kishorssf91]

I have downloaded SOAPdenovo2-master.zip. I am trying to unzip and install it. First i tried with "gunzip" command but it was showing nothing. Later according to manual i have tried with "tar -zxf SOAPdenovo2-master.zip" command line. Then it was showing 'gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now'. Can someone help me to resolve the issue? Thanks.

The file is zipped, not sure if tar can unzip it. To decompress the file do unzip SOAPdenovo2-master.zip. I usually use tar for files that are compressed such as <file>.tar.gz, not <file>.zip.
