If you are using Ubuntu Linux    Install zip  sudo apt-get install zip  Zip your folder   zip -r  filename zip   foldername     If you are using Microsoft Windows   Windows does not come with a command-line zip program  despite Windows Explorer natively supporting Zip files since the Plus  pack for Windows 98   I recommend the open-source 7-Zip utility which includes a command-line executable and supports many different archive file types  especially its own   7z format which offers superior compression ratios to traditional  PKZIP    zip files    Download 7-Zip from the 7-Zip home page Add the path to 7z exe to your PATH environment variable  See this QA   How to set the path and environment variables in Windows Open a new command-prompt window and use this command to create a PKZIP   zip file   7z a -tzip  yourfile zip   yourfolder     Cross-platform Java   If you have the Java JDK installed then you can use the jar utility to create Zip files  as   jar files are essentially just renamed   zip  PKZIP  files   jar -cfM  yourfile zip   yourfolder    Explanation    -c compress   -f specify filename   -M do not include a MANIFEST file
