I am using fedora 23 64 bit. I have downloaded some .rar
files.
After googling I have found solutions suggesting that using unrar
they can be opened.
But I am unable to install unrar
. I have tried the following steps after googling to install but failed.
Solution 1:
For free-release:
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'
For nonfree-release:
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree`/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm'`
To install unrar
:
Run the following command in terminal and type the password for the user, when prompted.
sudo yum install unrar
Solution 2:
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
yum install unrar
But nothing is working. My system is up to date.
How can I open .rar
files in fedora?

– Moab – 2016-05-03T00:53:15.647When you say it "failed" or "nothing is working", what exactly is happening? What do you expect to happen, and what is the actual result? – mattdm – 2016-05-03T13:01:58.783
@mattdm just simply no package found.... – Black Swan – 2016-05-04T00:44:09.463
Does that package exist in the repository you added? – mattdm – 2016-05-04T01:00:24.953
