Help! How can I decompress a 7z file in my mac?

Dear IT geniuses of Fiverr:

Help please!

How can I decompress a 7z file in my mac? Unarchiver gave me a lot of trouble and I don’t want to pay for an app to be able to decompress it. It’s urgent. Thanks!

Those 7-Zip types are a PITA for almost everyone. Makes no real sense these days.

Can you get “RAR File Open Knife” on Mac?

That generally works for me. I refuse to put the main 7-Zip application on my machine as (like iTunes) is always created havoc.

If you can’t handle it, ask the client for a common file format like plain Zip as 7-Zip is not exactly a standard type (never was because of all the hassles).

Hi, thanks for your advice. The client requires me to use Wipefile due to their safety protocols, or whatever, and it is a headache. Would a “RAR File Open Knife” work for a 7z file?

That is the only reason I have Open Knife on my drive - when I get annoying clients who insist on coloring outside of the lines.

I’d be sure to be Anti Virusing that before & after decompression esp if they haven’t hit the Buy Button and paid already.
