You can use the following shell command to extract:
tar xvjf filename.bz2
This would also extract:
tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2

tar - Tape ARchiver
And the options:
x - extract
v - verbose output (lists all files as they are extracted)
j - deal with bzipped file
f - read from a file, rather than a tape device
