To extract the agent.jar file, one typically uses the following command in the terminal:

jar –xvf agent.jar

But it won't work if the system has only a JRE environment.

Use the arcturus-jar-extractor to extract the agent.jar file in a JRE environment. First, download the arcturus-jar-extractor.jar file here: arcturus-jar-extractor.jar

Next, use this extractor .jar file for extracting .jar in JRE environment by using the following command:

java -jar arcturus-jar-extractor.jar <agent.jar file location> <extract destination location>

See example below:

java -jar arcturus-jar-extractor.jar /Applicare/tmp/updates/update.jar /Applicare/tmp/updates/extracted
