Step 2: unpack

NetHack is shipped in a single archive created with tar and then shrunk with gzip. To unpack under Unix, the following commands should be executed in an empty directory:
  gzcat nethack-341.tgz > nethack-341.tar
  tar xf nethack-341.tar
The gzip package (containing gzip, gunzip, and gzcat) may be obtained from the Free Software Foundation. A version of tar is also available from the same site.

Step 3: build

See the file README in the top level directory unpacked in Step 2 for build instructions for the various operating systems.
