Files which have RPM as file extension are related with Linux Operating System. Originally RPM file format was created for Ret Hat version of Linux but these days other versions of Linux also use RPM file format.
TGZ is an archive format used by GNUzip (Gzip) tool. This format is in no way related to Windows zip format. TGZ files store TAR archives. TGZ extension is equivalent to TAR.GZ extension and such files are essentially the same. TGZ uses deflate compression algorithm.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the RPM file after converting to TGZ may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from RPM to TGZ to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting RPM to TGZ does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in RPM format, properly converted to a TGZ file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file RPM the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of RPM file to other than TGZ. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your RPM file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to TGZ on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the RPM file in its original format (without conversion to TGZ file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
