AIX unzip
I found there's no unzip utility available in AIX 7.2.
$ which unzip
which: 0652-141 There is no unzip in /usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/oracle/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin .
To get handy unzip command, we have 2 options to install it.
1. Yum
If your server do have yum utility and repositories, you can install unzip package like this.
# yum -y install unzip

If you don't have any yum repository, let's move on.
2. Rpm
After doing some research, I know we need to install unzip from AIX toolbox, which contains a collection of open source and GNU software built for AIX IBM Systems.
Download unzip RPM
First of all, we need to download unzip RPM from AIX toolbox to server.
Install unzip RPM
Then use rpm to install unzip. In this case, the package I got is unzip-6.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm.
# rpm -ivh unzip-6.0-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Now, we can use unzip to uncompress zip files (*.zip).
