Ubuntu Apt-Get For Winrar Installation

By default Ubuntu does not support to open files ending in rar from rarlab (winrar), then from it to open winrar files will require manual installation to open the zip file.

A simple way to install winrar in ubuntu is to download an additional application with the command apt-get of ubuntu, the way is as follows:

  1. open a console terminal on your Ubuntu after previous login into the ubuntu OS.
  2. then type or paste the following command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install rar unrar
  3. once finished type or paste the following command: sudo apt-get clean
  4. upgrade your OS with the command: sudo apt-get upgrade

congratulations, now winrar files can be open on your Ubuntu operating system.
