# STEP 8:EXTRACT THE SWT SOFTWARE FOLDER

#### **1. Once the SWT node archive is uploaded on /home/swt/, go back to PuTTY and move to the home folder of “SWT” user in order to run those commands, which locates your uploaded SWT archive.**

```bash
cd /home/swt/
ls
```

#### **2. Now extract the SWT\_Node\_linux\_x64\_ver\_4\_2.tar.gz file**

```bash
tar xzvf Linux_Main-4.2.432.0.tgz
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember that you will surely have to change the SWT software name while you type this command. It must match with your own current SWT file name.
{% endhint %}

You will get this result:

#### **3. Go into the extracted folder (named 'swtnode') and take a look at the content by typing:**

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>cd swtnode
</strong>ls -lrt
</code></pre>

{% hint style="info" %}
Informations in our tutorial screenshots may be slightly differents than informations shown in your screen, depending on the SWT node version you use.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to copy-paste commands, just place your cursor at the right place in the line and make a right-click with your mouse, then press Enter.
{% endhint %}

Now that everything is in place to run the SWT node, let's go ahead!
