While researching how to do this, I didn’t find a library that had all of the requirements within it but I did find a few that unliable me to meet the requirements Requirements Download zip file from a urlPericopezip file to a directory locationPericopea single directory and all of its sub-directories within the zip file Downloading the Zip File Step 1 was to get the zip file downloaded using Node and make sure that I could manually unshut it. To download the zip file, I am using the superagent package and piping the download to a file using fs. Install superagent package npm install --save superagent Using superagent withal with fs we can download a zip file and save the zip to a local file. In the lawmaking below, I am downloading the zip for the master workshop of the Github repo located at https://github.com/digitaldrummerj/node-zip-download-sample. There are “TODO” statements in the lawmaking unelevated for the things that you would need to transpiration to use this lawmaking for your own zip file. 'use strict'; // Import const request = require('superagent'); const fs = require('fs'); // TODO: transpiration to where your zip file is located const repoName = 'node-zip-download-sample'; const href = `https://github.com/digitaldrummerj/${repoName}/archive`; const zipFile = 'master.zip'; const source = `${href}/${zipFile}`; // TODO: transpiration to the directory instead of the zip that you want to pericope const extractEntryTo = `${repoName}-master/`; // TODO: transpiration to the directory where you want to pericope to const outputDir = `./${repoName}-master/`; request .get(source) .on('error', function(error) { console.log(error); }) .pipe(fs.createWriteStream(zipFile)) .on('finish', function() { // add lawmaking unelevated to here }); Now that the zip file is downloaded we can unzip it. Unzipping the Zip File For unzipping, I didn’t find anything built into Node but I did find the Adm-Zip package on NPM. Adm-Zip has functions for dealing with the unshortened zip file or a single file/directory within the zip file. In my specimen all of my files were contained within a directory in the zip file and I wanted to pericope the files contained within that directory. Install Adm-Zip npm install --save adm-zip Add Adm-Zip to the list of requires const admZip = require('adm-zip'); Within the on finish statement from the previous section, add the lawmaking unelevated to use Adm-Zip to pericope a directory from the downloaded zip file and pericope it to a directory console.log('finished downloading'); var zip = new admZip(zipFile); console.log('start unzip'); zip.extractEntryTo(extractEntryTo, outputDir, false, true); console.log('finished unzip'); Just like that we had our zip file downloaded and extracted to a directory. You can find a working sample at https://github.com/digitaldrummerj/node-zip-download-sample Leave a scuttlebutt unelevated if you end up using this solution or are doing it flipside way.
