how unzip .rar file

[Golddust]

I'm completely new with Ubuntu. How do I unzip a .rar file? With all the applications that are included in this latest version, there is nothing I can find to carry this out.

I haven't uses a .rar file before, but this website seems to have info relevant to how you handle them under linux.

if you have enabled the multiverse repository you should be able to install unrar. once installed all you need to do is right click on the archive and extract it.

hope this helps

Applications > Accessories > Terminal

sudo aptitude install rar unrar

Right click on the file and select "Extract Here"
