# Unzip JP GUI
Unzip Japanese Shift-JIS zip archives on non-Japanese systems. This script unzips the file while converting the file names from Shift-JIS to UTF-8.
Japanese versions of Windows use Shift-JIS encoding to store file names. When a zip file is created from files containing Japanese characters and later opened on a non-Japanese system, the file names are [scrambled](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojibake). This program aims to fix that problem.
## Usage/Examples
Run the program as described in [Run Locally](#run-locally).
## Run Locally
### Express
Download the latest exe file from the [release tab](https://github.com/saberzero1/unzip-jp-gui/releases) and execute it.
### Manual
Ensure you have TKinter installed if you want to run the file manually.
#### On windows:
```
python pip install tk
```
#### On Linux:
```
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
```
execute the following command in Command Prompt from the folder
```
python archive_gui.py
```
