Assuming you copied the file "koha_library.sql.gz" into directory
"/tmp"...

Change to /tmp:

$ cd /tmp

Decompress the file (this will result in file "koha_library.sql"):

$ tar xzf koha_library.sql.gz

Now load the file:

$ mysql -uroot -p koha_library < koha_library.sql

Be sure you call this command while being in the directory where "koha_library.sql" resides. Of course also giving the absolute path is possible:

$ mysql -uroot -p koha_library < /tmp/koha_library.sql

Hope this helps

Kind regards, Michael
