Multiple File Download Instructions
For Windows
You have an option to download one file or in smaller pieces. When you are downloading in smaller pieces, please make sure to download the associated .cmd or .bat file as well.
The file download for some products have been offered in smaller pieces for users who have limited bandwidth. Once all of the files have been downloaded, double-click on the .cmd/.bat file that you have saved locally on your computer. This will compile the individual files into the final file format. The disk space required will be equal to the individual files plus the size of the combined file.
For UNIX/Linux
How to extract the files:
To gunzip a file, use the following command:
gunzip filename.tar.gz
To untar a file, use the following command:
tar -xvf filename.tar
How to Merge the files:
After downloading all of the files into a single directory, merge them into the original tarball by issuing the command below:
cat [filenames] > combined_filename

To merge these three to create final.tar.gz you would use the following command:
cat file1.tar.gz file2.tar.gz file3.tar.gz > final.tar.gz
