Linux under the rar file extraction method

The rar compressed file is downloaded from the Internet. In linux, we need to uncompress it. At this time, we need to install rar related files to uncompress it.

1. Download

We go to the rarlab website and download it rar for linux x64

Unzip using tar (*.tar using tar? xvf?)

Downloads tar -xvf rarlinux-x64-5.6.0.tar.gz 

3. Enter folder make (administrator privileges required)

rar cat makefile 
###################################################################
# Installing RAR executables, configuration files and SFX modules #
# to appropriate directories                   #
###################################################################
PREFIX=/usr/local
install:
  mkdir -p $(PREFIX)/bin
  mkdir -p $(PREFIX)/lib
  cp rar unrar $(PREFIX)/bin
  cp rarfiles.lst /etc
  cp default.sfx $(PREFIX)/lib%   

If you don't do make, you need to execute the command in the same folder as the command, or add the folder to the environment variable.

3. Finally, you can use unrar for decompression and rar for compression.

 ~ unrar x [file]

We can type unrar directly to see the help
