The .rar format is one of the most used for unzipping files, if we are working under Windows this might not be a problem, we only need to install WinRAR in a very easy way: Install.. Next, next, next, next and finish! After this, we are ready to zip & unzip our files.
But let' s take a look at how it works under Debian (or another GNU/Linux OS):
We are going to install rar. Open your console and type the following:
lobo@Cubil:$ aptitude install rar unrar
/* We need to install both, rar and unrar in order to work*/
Now, let's figure out that we want to unzip a file telecomunicaciones.rar we just downloaded from the cloud.
lobo@Cubil:$ unrar x telecomunicaciones.rar
What happens if we have our .rar file split in many parts? telecomunicaciones.part1.rar, telecomunicaciones.part2.rar ... telecomunicaciones.partx.rar.
lobo@Cubil:$ unrar x telecomunicaciones.part1.rar
/* We only need to type the first part and it will continue unzipping until the last part*/
But if we don't want to unzip this file at all, but we want to look what is inside the zipped file??
lobo@Cubil:$ unrar | telecomunicaciones.rar
