Install unzip:

sudo apt install unzip or yum install unzip

Use this in the same directory you want to unzip the files:

unzip ‘*.zip’

If you want to put the uncompressed files in other directory, then use this:

unzip ‘*.zip’ -d /usr/sampleZip/ExampleDir

To put it into a shell script:

vim shellscript.sh

Then the script could be something like:

#!/bin/bash

unzip ‘*.zip’

After saving the script, to execute it:

./shellscript.sh
