To create an archive from the GTDB-Tk release data parts:

1. Ensure all parts of the GTDB-Tk release data are in the same directory.
2. Open a terminal or command prompt.
3. Navigate to the directory containing the parts of the GTDB-Tk release data.
4. Use the following command to concatenate all parts into a single archive:
   cat gtdbtk_r220_data.tar.gz.part_* > gtdbtk_r220_data.tar.gz

5. Once the command finishes executing, you will have a single archive file named 'gtdbtk_r220_data.tar.gz' in the same directory.

Note: Ensure that all parts are present and correctly named before executing the command. The command concatenates the parts in alphanumeric order.
