How can I extract a tar.bz2 file?

[LegendBreath]

Hi,
I got a file with the extension tar.bz2, how can I extract it?
I tried :

tar cvf binutils-2.14.tar.bz2 /mnt/legend/sources/binutils
and
tar xvf binutils-2.14.tar.bz2 /mnt/legend/sources/binutils

but, it doesn't work...

Someone can help me?

tar xjvf <filename>

OR

bunzip2 <filename> then tar xvf <newfilename>

you can extract it with Ark or another archiving programs then if you want to install it just cd into the extracted folder and install
