How to install rar and unrar commands in Linux

We often download some compressed files online, so compression and decompression are also things we often do. In Linux, we can use rar and unrar commands to compress and decompress, but many users do not know in Linux. How to install these two commands. Let Xiaobian tell you now.

Installation:

to 3.8.0 version, for example, if a 64-bit platform, execute the following command, you can also go to the official website to download the latest version :):

wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-x64-4.2.0.tar.gz

rar software does not need to be installed, directly extract to /usr/local, the following operations Need to have root privileges.

#tar zxvf rarlinux-x64-4.2.0.tar.gz -C /usr/local

At this point, /usr/local/rar will have rar command and unrar command . You can create a connection under /usr/local/bin

#ln -s /usr/local/rar/rar /usr/local/bin/rar

#ln -s /usr/Local/rar/unrar /usr/local/bin/unrar
