Open rar file or Extract rar files under

Linux or UNIX
by Vivek Gite on February 8, 2006 · 126 comments
Q. How do I open rar archive files under Linux / UNIX operating

systems?
A. RAR files are in compressed archive format, if you have downloaded

rar files from the Internet, you need to unpack or unrar them (extract
rar files).
RAR is a proprietary file format for data compression and archiving, developed by
Eugene Roshal.
Under Linux and UNIX, use command called unrar. By default unrar is not being
installed on Linux, FreeBSD or UNIX oses. You can install unrar command with the
help of apt-get or yum command.
(See below for Windows XP info)
Install unrar command
Under Debian Linux, you need to type apt-get as follows to install unrar program:
# apt-get install unrar
If you are using Fedora core Linux then use yum command as follows (see discussion
below):
# yum install unrar
If you are using FreeBSD, use:

# pkg_add -v -r unrar

If any of above, methods is not working for you, download binary package from official
rarlab site:
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz
Untar file
$ tar -zxvf rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz
Both unrar and rar commands are located in rar sub-directory. Just go to rar directory:
$ cd rar
$ ./unrar
Now copy rar and unrar to /bin directory:

# cp rar unrar /bin
How to use unrar
unrar command supports various options below are common options that you need to
use everyday.
Task: To open rar (unpack) file in current directory type command:
$ unrar e file.rar
Please note that replace file.rar filename with your actual filename.
Task: List (l) file inside rar archive:
$ unrar l file.rar
Task: To extract (x) files with full path type command:
$ unrar x file.rar
(D) To test (t) integrity of archive, file type command:

$ unrar t file.rar
How do I open rar file under Windows XP/NT/2000?
Windows XP or NT/2000 user
If you are using Windows XP then I recommend to download Winrar. It is free

download ( Free to try License) software.

On my Redhat FC4… says there is no unrar or rar… does this package go under a
different name?
[root@www ~]# yum install unrar

Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: unrar
Nothing to do

You need to point out to use dag RPM Repository for unrar command under
Fedora Core Linux. I have following line in my /etc/yum.conf file:
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
Save file and import PGP key:

rpm –import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
Upgrade your system by typing following command:

yum update
Install unrar:
yum install unrar
Or just download RPM file from dag site

Joe,
Grab unrar/rar software from http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm install the

same. Type the following commands as root user:
cd /tmp
wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz
cd rar
cp rar unrar /bin
Now you can use rar and unrar

Files with .lzh or .lha extensions have been compressed with the LHa, LHarc, or
LHx compression utilities. You need to use lha command.
lha x file.lhz

If you are searching for a GUI utility to extract and handle rar files with, there is
PeaZip for Linux which comes handy:
http://peazip.sourceforge.net/
It runs both in Gnome and in KDE and is available as DEB and RPM.

There is something simply called ‘rar’ which uncompress AS WELL AS compress.

That means you can create, read, modify RAR archives. Its free. I don’t know
about its license.

The trick is to stay the he*l away from unrar-free and just use unrar! I’m sure it
will give Richard Stallman nightmares but the unfree version worked (finally!)
This process was much easier with WinRAR and I had success much earlier, but
it’s nice to finally get it to work.
Of course, the idiots who made the spanned archives in the first place should be
shot!

Ankit, it should just be tar -xvf openvpn-2.1.1.tar. Does that work?

lols I was looking for rar command not unrar but your site came up of the 1st page
of google. I was wondering if you a have a guide in compressing not
decompressing anyways I’ll just use man rar and check the commands… Cheers

These are great productivity tips, on macosx especially it’s a lot quicker using
these tools instead of unrarx.
