no shit winrar doesn't work, IT'S FOR WINDOWS !!!

anyway, go into a terminal window, cd into your desktop (can use ls to list directories and files) then type unrar filename or unrar -x file

unrar didn't work for me until I downloaded WinRAR. Winrar isn't only windows if you go to it on Linux it lets you download the linux version im pretty sure.

is it in the apt repository?

if it ain't in the apt it ain't worth gettin'

if unrar doesn't work then I guess try sudo apt-get install unrar(?)

Yeah thats the one. You have to install unrar. Idk if it is WinRAR but I downloaded winrar. Don't know if thats what I'm using or not but unraring works for me. Its a bitch to find out how to do it though you have to try 50 commands to get something you want.

Anyways, OP go to a terminal window and type the following.

sudo apt-get install unrar

let it install that then type

cd Desktop

and then if your file is on the desktop that needs to be unrared type this..

unrar x filename.rar

That will unrar the file to the current directory. Might take a while its not as fast as WinRAR on Windows.
