It is very easy. The solution is on nixCraft, but on the comments.
## 64 bit linux ## wget https://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-x64-5.5.0.tar.gz tar -zxvf rarlinux-x64-5.5.0.tar.gz cd rar sudo cp -v rar unrar /usr/local/bin/
There’s no need to compile or anything. The binary on the tar file works out of the box. On the above example, we copy it on /usr/local/bin so it is found by default after login on our system. Other “exotic” solutions are possible, but I don’t want to make suggestions.
I did write during the holidays. I didn’t publish. I have like 4 drafts about. A lot of polishing needs to be done, but expect some dragons coming on the next days
