    Unrar in Linux

    I downloaded winrar for linux, but I have no idea how to install it. Can some explain the install process for WInrar? (I need to extract something). And can you try to make it as simple as possible?

    I've heard that you can use "tar" to extract rar files. Can someone explain how to extract a file using tar?

    Thanx in advance.

    "unrar" is definitely in the debian package pool. Maybe you need to run "apt-get update" before "apt-get -t testing install unrar". Make sure you're online before this ;-)

    okay, i'm updating

    I did find a way to access unrar, but whenever i try unrar -x <myfile>, it always says, that command (unrar) can't be used.

    i updated, but it didn't install Unrar.

    I found if you go to the unrar file i downloaded in the konsole, it starts unrar. My problem is, the bash doesn't seem to reconise the comman "unrar"

    Well I must confess that I forget to tell noobs to do apt-get update and read the apt/dpkg howto.
