Pasting the exact error message really helps.

The short way (1 command) is

Code:

tar xvzf filename.tgz

The -z flag for tar makes it decompress a gzipped tar first.
(Note that the z flag is a GNU extension.)

Of course, you must be in the same location as the .tgz, or specify the path as well.
It will extract the files in the current directory.
