From the website:

$ tar -xjf rarcrack-VERSION.tar.bz2
$ cd rarcrack-VERSION
$ make
$ sudo make install

Is this not working? What errors are you getting?

If you're not comfortable using the command line, I wouldn't recommend attempting to compile and install a program from source.

There is a .deb file available here, and it should install just by downloading and double clicking it.

I got:

rulo@rulo-ubuntu:~/Downloads/rarcrack-0.2$ make
gcc -pthread rarcrack.c `xml2-config --libs --cflags` -O2 -o rarcrack
/bin/sh: 1: xml2-config: not found
In file included from rarcrack.c:21:0:
rarcrack.h:25:48: fatal error: libxml/xmlmemory.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [all] Error 1

And from de deb. file I got:

The file “/home/rulo/Downloads/rarcrack.deb” could not be opened.

Anny suggestions?
