2. import unzipper and http into the code file

import unzipper from ‘unzipper’;

import unzipper from ‘unzipper’;
import http from ‘http’;

var self=this;
http.get(‘http://yoururl.com/file.zip’, function(res) {
             res.pipe(unzipper.Extract({ path: ‘C:/cmsdata/’ })).on(‘close’, function() {
                       //Here you can perform any action after completion of stream unzipping
             });
});
