Descompact tgz.gz files - NodeJS - node.js

I'm having some problems when I'm going to unzip this type of file, I've tried several packages,
I'm trying to download a package (my own package manager), I'm trying to download from "registry.npmjs.com" I get the version and download the tarball (tgz.gz)
Example :
DOWNLOAD https://registry.npmjs.com/(package)/-/(package)-(version).tgz.gz (I managed to solve this problem)
UNPACK (package)-(version).tgz.gz (I didn't get this step, how do I solve it?)
The problem is when I'm going to unzip can you help me with this?

Unable to extract shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat for bz

I am trying to run some face frontalization code (using Python3 on Windows10), the code uses opencv and dlib and requires a file called shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat. The code tries to automatically download it and then unzip it but it fails to unzip giving an unexpected end of archive error. I tried to use WinRaR to repair the file (which I also tried manualy downloading from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dclib/files/dlib/v18.10/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2) but it says it can only repair .zip and .rar files.
Does anyone know where I can download the uncompressed .dat file from? Or alternatively how I can repair a damaged .bz file in Windows?
The file is available at
http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
I downloaded it and verified that extraction works. The file is smaller than the one used in the previous version, but I think that is due to improvements.
In case this does not work, let me (or Davis King, who maintains the dlib blog) know so that you can get the uncompressed version.
Downloading using the CLI is a lot easier.
wget http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
To decompress the compressed file you just downloaded, use the following command
bzip2 -d shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2
As mentioned above, download shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat
from here. But while downloading, downloads gets failed(i faced this issue). So, if you're also facing the same issue, then i recommend to download it via command-line:
$ wget link

NodeJS archive manager

I need to get the content of archives and then I want to uncompress the selected one - but I dont want to uncompress the archives to know what's in it. I'd like to list and uncompress at least zip and rar, but (if that's possible) I don't want to be limited to only these two.
Can you advise good npm modules or other projects to achieve this?
Here's what I came up with:
zip
I found node-zip can only unzip files, but not list archive content.
rar
The best solution seems node-rar, but I can't install it on Windows.
node-uncompress This does what it says: It's an "Command-line wrapper for uncompressing various file types." So there is again no possibility to list archive content.
Currently I try to get node-uncompress to list files and hopefully it must never run cross-platform.
Solution:
I am now using 7zip with the node module node-7z instead of trying to get every archive working on its own. The corresponding site is: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-7z
This library uses the OS independent archive manager 7zip. On Windows 7za is used. "7za.exe (a = alone) is a standalone version of 7-Zip". I've tested it on Windows and Ubuntu and it works great.
Update:
At Windows: Somehow I just got it working by adding 7za to the Path variables - not by adding 7za.exe to the "the same directory of your package.json file." like the description says.
Update 2:
On Windows 7za, that's referred in the node-7z post, cannot handle .rar-archives. So I'm using the "casual" 7-zip instead of 7za.exe. I just renamed the commanline 7z.exe to 7za.exe and added the 7-zip folder to the Path Variables.

Removing RPM Packages

Hello experts and thank you for taking your time to answer the question:
Can I remove the .rpm files after having installed the program?
EXAMPLE:
I have installed the rar.rpm file and now I have the rar.rpm in a directory where I downloaded the file and want to know if I could remove that file without disrupting the rar program's function in centos.
Regards
Sam
Yes, you can.
Though you may want to keep it in case you need to install it again.
Also, in general, you shouldn't be (and shouldn't need to) use randomly downloaded .rpm files.
You should usually be using yum or similar tool to install a package from the configured repositories on the system.

apt-cyg, where the downloaded files stored?

When I use the command 'apt-cyg install package-name' and once the Cygwin has downloaded the package it says 'package-name saved'. I can't seem to find this in the hard drive though. So where is it located?
I found them inside /setup and inside a folder with the name of the mirror used to download the packages

unattended cygwin setup without setup.ini

I´m doin a unattended cygwin installation and I was wondering if there will occure any problems without a setup.ini.
Following: my "install-folder" includes a setup.exe and a subfolder release (within all the packages packed).
I´m starting the setup silent (with Nsis) and install the packages. In NSIS I define the Root, the location of the packages etc.
I think it works so far (I´m not sure because i´ve got a curious error in cmake). There are many instructions how to modify the whole setup for an offline installation. But I don´t get the point why I have to modify it at all.
I hope anyone has got experience with this issue!
#Daniel Le cygwin installs the packages without the .ini (all of them). And there has nothing to be downloaded because the packages are on the local machine.
I believe the setup.ini is essential to the setup process, as it indicates which packages to be downloaded and installed.
The Ini file is so far only a description for file locations and paths to be set as default. It is not necessary to have the ini file if you wanna install some packages!
That´s my conclusion.
