I'm used to using 7zip on Windows, where I can easily drag and drop files into the program to password protect them. However, I'm not sure about the command-line instructions for doing this on a Linux system. Can someone guide me on how to encrypt an archive using 7zip via the command line?

If you're looking for simple examples, try using `tldr 7z`. This will give you a quick overview of the command and usage. Just note that it might not cover every feature, but it’s perfect for basic tasks.
You can use the command `7z a -pYourPassword -mhe=on path/to/encrypted.7z path/to/archive` to create a password-protected archive. Just replace `YourPassword` with your desired password and adjust the paths accordingly.
Remember to check your specific Linux distribution's documentation if you run into any issues. Some details might vary depending on your setup. Also, don't hesitate to reach out with your distro name and any errors for more help!
