| Depends on the Linux distribution you are using. If it is Debian, then installing new software is easy. You simply use the standard software installation program "aptitude" or "synaptic" to select the packages "rar" and "ark" and wait for it to automatically download and install them.

Here is the link to the rar for your Linux distribution:
http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.7.1.tar.gz
Just download and decompress.

It can be used by all distro's
but it's only a cli application, for a gui use ark or fileroller 
to install unpack it, open a terminal window, login as root (or use sudo) and type:
$make install
