As a novice Linux and Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn user I have faced some issues related to RAR Archives. WinRAR is the Windows tool widely used for this purpose and it is also a powerful archiver. If one has wine installed as mentioned in one of my earlier blogs they can install WinRAR in no time following this.
I am just mentioning the steps in short.
- Download WinRAR 3.7
wine {PATH_TO_EXE}. E.g. wine wrar371.exe.
Having Desktop emulation configured using Wine is necessary. winecfg -> Graphics -> Emulate…. checkbox- Run WinRAR with the following command:
wine {PATH_TO_INSTALLATION}/WinRAR.exe
I hope all enjoys WinRAR on Ubuntu.
