How to open a rar file with the Linux command line. This is very easy.

The unrar command for Linux takes care of opening rar files.

Firstly, install the command with the yum install unrar command.

[root@localhost Downloads]# yum install unrar

Or this way on a Debian GNU/Linux system.

[user@debian ~]$ sudo apt-get install unrar

Then you may unpack your rar files and maintain the directory structure if there is one inside the file.

[homer@localhost Downloads]$ unrar x myfile.rar

That is how easy this is!
