How to run WinRAR on Ubuntu (the original Windows WinRAR, not UnRAR)?
Can you do it with Wine somehow? I think I tried that with 14.04 but failed, maybe it's possible with 16.04 or should be possible in 18.04?
I desire to work with WinRAR regularly, to extract zips and rars after a right mouse click and "unrar this file to / here" or "unzip this file to / here".
In an answer, please detail on a workaround to achieve that (as working with WinRAR that way, is actually part of the problem).
unrar
tool andunzip
tool from the repos, which adds support with the built-in tools. There's really no need for WinRAR directly, though, what with the opensource tools that exist now for it... just saying.Extract here
andExtract to
. If you don't get it, you may want to install 7zip-full withsudo apt-get install p7zip-full
and test later.7zip
package. Opinion: even when wine provides some compatibility with windows software on linux, it's always better to move away from them using native software, usually better (with exceptions) and with less issues.
