Extract ".rar" file -

[Bob Goodwin]

How do I extract "tomato-E3000USB-1.28.9054MIPSR2-beta-Ext.rar" ?

The instructions said to "yum install p7zip" and I did that, but finding 
the command to make it happen eludes me.

I've found a lot of things that don't work e.g.

[root@box10 Downloads]# 7za e 
"tomato-E3000USB-1.28.9054MIPSR2-beta-Ext.rar"

7-Zip (A) [64] 9.20  Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov  2010-11-18
p7zip Version 9.20 (locale=en_GB.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,4 CPUs)

Processing archive: tomato-E3000USB-1.28.9054MIPSR2-beta-Ext.rar

Error: Can not open file as archive

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Bob

Never header of p7zip, but there is an "unrar" in the
rpmfusion repositories.

unrar  x86_64  4.2.4-3.fc18  rpmfusion-nonfree

with that installed at least under kde you can unpack a rar-file
from knoqueror/dolphin with a right click as for any other archive

"for some reason the folks that built the p7zip-plugins rpm didn't 
compile the 7z.so with the rar format plugin in it"

p7zip packagers explain that in the spec file:

"RAR sources removed since their license is incompatible with the LGPL"

I tried 7za among others but it didn't work right either, I never heard 
of p7zip before but somewhere in the googling process it said to use it.

Unrar worked without a hitch and I have installed the "Tomato" software 
on an E3000 router I had on hand in the hope of saving the log data to 
an external hard drive. Things to do to keep me busy.

Thanks,

Bob

7zip's website says that it supports the RAR format on Linux, but only for extracting.
 You *should* be able to extract with
p7zip-plugins rpm installed and then use "7z x file.rar" (note, *not* 7za x
file.rar) but for some reason the folks that built the
p7zip-plugins rpm didn't compile the 7z.so with the rar format plugin in it.  FWIW, I
grabbed the 9.20.1 source code for 7zip, built
it in about 5 minutes, and can use the 7z that built from there with for extracting rar
archives  with no problem so I'm not sure
why the Fedora folks don't build 7z with the needed plugins in 7z.so.

The command is 7za, see man 7za.  But that won't help you; at least the
man page does not list as a supported archive type.  As mentioned by
others, try unrar; see man unrar for details.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

*.rar archives require their own programs to manage them:
the rar that i use is from the atrpms repo
whil unrar  is from the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates  repo

Install via yum and then do unrar --help to find out the necessary 
options/switches.

"The instructions said..." what instructions??

I think you need to install unrar from rpmfusion to extract .rar files.

Ok, I found "yum install unrar" and did:

[root@box10 Downloads]# unrar e 
"tomato-E3000USB-1.28.9054MIPSR2-beta-Ext.rar"

UNRAR 4.20 freeware      Copyright (c) 1993-2012 Alexander Roshal
