Linix RAR archiver

Post by visser »

So for windows I use WinRAR and it works perfect. if not that i really like 7zip. However there is no linix equivalent that i know of. What do you guys use to unzip archives in linix? Is there anything like windows where when i right click on an archive i can select "extract here" like winrar uses?

Google is your friend, regardless;

Download rar for Linux:

http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

Unpack, install OR if using debian/ubuntu;

Code: Select all

apt-get install  unrar
Then, you can:

Code: Select all

 
unrar x *.rar
