How to unpack an .asar file?

Question

From the asar documentation

(the use of npx here is to avoid to install the asar tool globally with npm install -g asar)

Extract the whole archive:

npx asar extract app.asar destfolder 

Extract a particular file:

npx asar extract-file app.asar main.js

It is possible to upack without node installed using the following 7-Zip plugin:

Thanks @MayaPosch for mentioning that in this comment.
