How to install Winrar

Hello!
I’m new and want to install winrar on ubuntu. I have downloaded the linux version of winrar but don’t know how to install it.
I have tried two terminal commands:
«sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install rar unrar»
(computer didn’t find the command)
and «sudo apt-get install unrar»
(computer said that he can’t install unrar»
What have I done wrong?? It’s the first time i’m installing a programm on ubuntu.

Re: How to install Winrar

I think if you substitute «apt-get» for «aptitude,» which is no longer installed by default, the command should work.

Re: How to install Winrar

My computer is still saying that he can’t install rar and unrar.

Re: How to install Winrar

have you tried opening the tarball then clicking on an installer?

lol. i spent a whole hour figuring that out ..

Re: How to install Winrar

Easiest is xarchiver, that includes rar as one of it’s formats. Basic gui, but is opensource and free.

Next is unrar-free. unrar and rar are non-free, but those will install and run for 40 days or so, then you have to pay to register it to keep them functioning. unrar-free is from the same author, works on most rar archives, but not the newer format rar’s. But then again, is free.

I used rar and unrar until it ran out. then uninstalled it and went to xarchiver.

I still have WinRar on one of my Windows installs, that I paid/registered years ago. I always have a shared dataspace that I use for both Windows, Linux and Unix data >> on a shared nfts filesystem or on NAS.

WinRAR for Linux

I need help installing Winrar on Ubuntu. I have downlodaed the Linux version from WinRar’s website and the folder is on my desktop but how do I install it?
The folders name is «rar»

Re: WinRAR for Linux

You don’t just download random files from the internet. Go to Add/Remove Programs, or Synaptic. You can add support for RAR there. The default GNOME archiver (file-roller) will then support RAR (as well as you having rar support on the command line).

Re: WinRAR for Linux

See my signature for information on installing programs in ubuntu

For rar support, go to applications-accessories-terminal

Re: WinRAR for Linux

if you go to the rar folder on the desktop in the Terminal

Then you run it by typing rar in the terminal.

There’s no GUI for it (or at least what I got off their website had no GUI) so you’ll have to learn the terminal commands.

monkeyblog.org seems to have lost its host. Hope they get one soon.

Re: WinRAR for Linux

Thanks I started thinking I was on Windows again !
Now I gotta remember to use Add/Remove a lot more.

Re: WinRAR for Linux

If you absolutely must install the version you downloaded from rarlabs.com, then first bear in mind that it is RAR for Linux, not WinRAR. Secondly, you’ll find a Makefile inside. I have found that running it (with the “make” command) just produces an error. In fact, there are already binaries in the tarball. All you have to do is install them with “sudo make install”.

However, as I said before, do not install things like that. You will bypass the package management system. Please use .deb packages via Synaptic.

Re: WinRAR for Linux

Ok one proble I used Add/Remove and it said it installed the application successfully but now I cant see it under any Applications. help

Re: WinRAR for Linux

There is no GUI for it. You have to run it from the Command Line (At least I’m pretty sure you do in the tarball on their website there’s no GUI files at all.)
