How to extract .rar files in Ubuntu

Hi All,

I have tried the following steps, and it works smoothly on Ubuntu, hope this little contribution can help you in installing and setting up for extracting .rar files.

In order to extract .rar files in Ubuntu we need Unrar. Inorder to install Unrar use the following command:

sudo aptitude install unrar

Now use the following command to extract .rar files

unrar x your_file_name.rar

Extracting from your_file_name.rar

Extracting your_file_name.rar OK

All OK

All The Best
