Let\u2019s say you have a large ISO file on your Linux server and you wanted to access, extract or copy one single file from it. How do you do it? Well in Linux there are couple ways do it.<\/p>\n

For example, you can use standard\u00a0mount<\/strong>\u00a0command to mount an ISO image in read-only mode using the loop device and then copy the files to another directory.<\/p>\n

Mount or Extract ISO File in Linux<\/h3>\n

To do so, you must have an ISO file (I used\u00a0ubuntu-16.10-server-amd64.iso ISO<\/strong>\u00a0image) and mount point directory to mount or extract ISO files.<\/p>\n

First create an mount point directory, where you will going to mount the image as shown:<\/p>\n

$ sudo mkdir \/mnt\/iso\r\n<\/pre>\n
Once directory has been created, you can easily mount\u00a0ubuntu-16.10-server-amd64.iso<\/strong>\u00a0file and verify its content by running following command.<\/p>\n
$ sudo mount -o loop ubuntu-16.10-server-amd64.iso \/mnt\/iso\r\n$ ls \/mnt\/iso\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Mount<\/a><\/p>\n
Mount ISO File in Linux<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Now you can go inside the mounted directory (\/mnt\/iso<\/strong>) and access the files or copy the files to\u00a0\/tmp<\/code>\u00a0directory using\u00a0cp command<\/a>.<\/p>\n
$ cd \/mnt\/iso\r\n$ sudo cp md5sum.txt \/tmp\/\r\n$ sudo cp -r ubuntu \/tmp\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"Copy<\/a><\/p>\n
Copy Files From ISO File in Linux<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Note<\/strong>: The\u00a0-r<\/code>\u00a0option used to copy directories recursively, if you want you can also\u00a0monitor progress of copy command<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Extract ISO Content Using 7zip Command<\/h3>\n
If you don\u2019t want to mount ISO file, you can simply install\u00a07zip<\/strong>, is an open source archive program used to pack or unpack different number of formats including TAR, XZ, GZIP, ZIP, BZIP2, etc..<\/p>\n
$ sudo apt-get install p7zip-full p7zip-rar [On Debian\/Ubuntu<\/strong> systems]\r\n$ sudo yum install p7zip p7zip-plugins      [On CentOS\/RHEL<\/strong> systems]\r\n<\/pre>\n
Once\u00a07zip<\/strong>\u00a0program has been installed, you can use\u00a07z<\/strong>\u00a0command to extract ISO file contents.<\/p>\n
$ 7z x ubuntu-16.10-server-amd64.iso\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"7zip<\/a><\/p>\n
7zip \u2013 Extract ISO File Content in Linux<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Note<\/strong>: As compared to Linux\u00a0mount<\/strong>\u00a0command,\u00a07zip<\/strong>\u00a0seems much faster and smart enough to pack or unpack any archive formats.<\/p>\n
Extract ISO Content Using isoinfo Command<\/h3>\n
The\u00a0isoinfo<\/strong>\u00a0command is used for directory listings of iso9660 images, but you can also use this program to extract files.<\/p>\n
As I said\u00a0isoinfo<\/strong>\u00a0program perform directory listing, so first list the content of ISO file.<\/p>\n
$ isoinfo -i ubuntu-16.10-server-amd64.iso -l\r\n<\/pre>\n
\n
\"List<\/a><\/p>\n
List ISO Content in Linux<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Now you can extract a single file from an ISO image like so:<\/p>\n
$ isoinfo -i ubuntu-16.10-server-amd64.iso -x MD5SUM.TXT > MD5SUM.TXT\r\n<\/pre>\n
Note<\/strong>: The redirection is needed as\u00a0-x<\/code>\u00a0option extracts to stdout.<\/p>\n
\n
\"Extract<\/a><\/p>\n
