.efi or .tgz?

BlindingLights · Mar 13, 2006

Okay, I wanna get a program on my computer, and it comes only in .efi or .tgz. I know .tgz are "tar" files, but that's about all i know.

Which one's easier to install on my iMac Intel Core Duo (there's support, i checked) and how to I install it?

i cant even figure out what an efi file is! download the tar file and i believe osx should be able to open it up, if not go find a shareware version of stuffit expander off of versiontracker or macupdate

Yes download the tgz. I have no idea what an efi file is either. I figured it was some old school Mac archive.

the only thing i have come across in searches for a .efi file are this

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is the name for a new system developed by Intel that is designed to replace the aging BIOS system used by personal computers. It is responsible for the power-on self-test (POST) process, bootstrapping the operating system, and providing an interface between the operating system and the physical hardware.

yeah i know what EFI is, but not .efi files...

But wait, when I open the .tgz in Stuffit Expander, it opens a folder. Do I just drag and drop the folder into Applications? And, after that, how do I run the program?

.efi or .tgz?
