unrar used to be available on EPEL repository. But now, it is gone.

I noticed that CERT Forensics Tools has it now, then I installed it, unrar e [my file] works but using Archive Manager (GUI) doesn't work with rar files.

I also tried unar as this article suggested. Same issue.

Any clue how to get it work with Archive Manager?

Thanks!

Download rar from here.

Then do:

tar xzvf /pathtofile/rarlinux-your_version.tar.gz ln -s /pathtofile/rar/rar /usr/bin/rar ln -s /pathtofile/rar/unrar /usr/bin/unrar 

The command to decompress with unrar is:

unrar x filename.part1.rar 

or rar

rar x filename.part1.rar 

Make sure all the files are in the current directory.

Sample output:

Extracting from myfile1.splitted.r36 ... myfile1 Extracting from myfile1.splitted.r37 ... myfile1 Extracting from myfile1.splitted.r38 ... myfile1 Extracting from myfile1.splitted.r39 ... myfile1 Extracting from myfile1.splitted.r40 ... myfile1 OK All OK 

Or use rpmfusion:

rpmfusion can be found here.

rpmfusion configuration Centos

RHEL 7 or compatible like CentOS:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-7.noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/el/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-7.noarch.rpm
