I downloaded the English FastText embedding file with the .gz extension. When I intended to unzip it using Google Colab, I get the following error:
Archive: /content/drive/My Drive/New_ABCDM_Architec/cc.en.300.vec.gz End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /content/drive/My Drive/New_ABCDM_Architec/cc.en.300.vec.gz or /content/drive/My Drive/New_ABCDM_Architec/cc.en.300.vec.gz.zip, and cannot find /content/drive/My Drive/New_ABCDM_Architec/cc.en.300.vec.gz.ZIP, period
\n!unzip '/content/drive/My Drive/New_ABCDM_Architec/cc.fr.300.vec.gz'\n!unzip '/content/drive/My Drive/New_ABCDM_Architec/cc.ar.300.vec.gz'\n
I understand that to use !unzip the file should have a .zip extension. My question is, how to unzip .gz files?
