Ubuntu How To

You need to install unrar to open .rar files in Ubuntu. It’s pretty easy, just open a terminal and type:


sudo apt-get install unrar


Now either double click the .rar file in GUI or right click -> Extract here. You can also type the following command in terminal:


unrar x /path_to_file/file_name.rar
