Installing RAR

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.
 

Re: Installing RAR


My distribution is REDHAT Enterprice 4.
 

Installing RAR

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
