I'm a complete beginner to Arch. I've installed the system, and I'm trying to setup yaourt so I can install AUR packages more easily. The problem is, tar isn't working. I downloaded yaourt.tar.gz from the AUR, but when I type "tar -x yaourt.tar.gz" it simply shows the little underscore flashing like it does when it's waiting, and never finishes.
I've tried multiple times, (By going into another session with Ctrl + Alt + F2, and using killall tar, when I go back to my old session it says "Terminated" and it's back to normal, but with no files extracted in the folder yaourt.tar.gz was in.)
Anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT: Nevermind, I should have looked before posting a thread here. Googled it, and saw that I should have been doing tar -zxvf

does it work any better if you type
tar -zxf yaourt.tar.gz

Yeah, that works, I should have googled it first, as I just found the answer a couple minutes ago, and edited the thread as you were posting that.

What's abs? It's too short a query to search.
