![]() ![]() In Terminal.app type or paste the following (again remember to change the version number if you have a later version): cd ~/Downloads/rarosx-5.2.1/rar Step 3 For OS X up to 10.9.x (if using Yosemite, first follow instructions as indicated a little further down the page) ![]() Just type Terminal into Spotlight ( Command-Space to quickly access Spotlight). If you downloaded it to some other location then your file path will be different. ![]() So the full path is ~/Downloads/rarosx-5.2.1/rar You should now see in your ~/Downloads folder a folder called ~/Downloads/rarosx-5.2.1 (the number will be different if you downloaded a newer version since I late updated this post). Step 1ĭownload latest RAR for OS X “ RAR 5.2.1 for Mac OS X” (or a later version if there is one) from RARLab.Īssuming that file is downloaded to your ~/Downloads folder, double click it to extract the files. ![]() Also, if you have Homebrew installed, you can use this for the installation of UNRAR.

One of the drawbacks of note is the lack of its own interface which is why WinRAR is frequently downloaded onto Mac in conjunction with some other archiver.Here is how to install a free command line UnRAR tool (a RAR file extractor) and the RAR tool on Mac OS X. Or its RAR plugin is already built into an archiver and included in its price. Even if you download a third-party archiver, whose developers claim that it can create archives in the RAR format, you will have to download and install WinRAR separately to activate this function. No other archiver can do that (or rather it isn’t allowed by the RAR license). The biggest advantage of WinRAR for Mac OS X is the creation of RAR format archives. And it is this version the developers release the new archiver updates without delays in. Nevertheless, WinRAR for Mac OS exists, and working with the command line requires some special knowledge. Which is very weird, since the system created by Apple - as well as many other products of that company - is focused first and foremost on making the interaction of users with the machines easy. The developers allow the Mac users to work with RAR and UnRAR modules only from the command line. WinRAR for Mac OS X - as well as the Linux version - doesn’t have a GUI. WinRAR creators made sure the users of all the popular modern operating systems have their own version of the file archiver. ![]()
