-After renaming as indicated above, use the extraction tool (i.e 7-zip) to extract the file.  This will create the file ''dokuwiki-YYYY-MM-DD.tar'' and will be noticably larger that the original.  Again, use the extraction tool (i.e 7-zip) to extract this larger file.  This will creat a folder ''dokuwiki-YYYY-MM-DD'' with files and subfolders similar to what is already being used in your current version.+After renaming as indicated above, use the extraction tool (i.e 7-zip) to extract the file.  This will create the file ''dokuwiki-YYYY-MM-DD.tar'' which will be noticeably larger that the original.  Again, use the extraction tool (i.e 7-zip) to extract this larger file.  This will create a folder ''dokuwiki-YYYY-MM-DD'' with files and subfolders similar to what is already being used in your current version.

 Usually double-clicking on the .tgz file will extract it. Since Mac OS X has a unixoid system under the hood, the description for Linux/Unix above works in the Terminal.app. StuffIt Expander version 8.02 and higher handles .tgz correctly. Earlier versions of StuffIt Expander may as well.  Usually double-clicking on the .tgz file will extract it.
