Where does netifaces extract to?

Question

I am trying to install the netifaces module and was able to run the tar xvzf netifaces-0.11.0.tar.gz command. It looks like it extracted all the folders it needed too but I dont see them in my download folder or in my site-packages under my python folder which is where I saw everything should go to be imported in python.

I ask because to run the install it says on their page to cd to the folder it extracted and then run the setup.py file.

Answer 1

you can see what is inside tar.gz. here is a guide https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/list-the-contents-of-a-tar-or-targz-file/

also, didn't you forget about "-" ? tar -xvzf netifaces-0.11.0.tar.gz
