7zr

7zr is a reduced, standalone command-line version of 7-Zip for Windows. It provides a focused way to use this 7-Zip-based tool from a command prompt rather than through a graphical application. Its standalone design makes the program distinct from a complete 7-Zip installation.

The software is intended for Windows users who work with command-line tools or need a compact 7-Zip component. Its primary interface is the command line, so use is based on entering commands and reviewing their results in a console. The reduced scope keeps the product centered on its command-line role.

7zr is released under an open-source license. This allows the software to be used in a distribution model where the program is provided as a separately available build. The license also identifies 7zr as software whose source and use are governed by open-source terms.

MirrorNest distributes 7zr for the Windows category by mirroring the official build directly on its own storage. The mirrored file is scanned for malware before it is published. This gives readers a platform-specific download source while preserving the identity of the official build.
