WinRAR is a powerful archive manager providing complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives. Its RAR format may only take second place for its level of compression but it is consistently the fastest when it comes to both packing and unpacking files. While RAR files are not native to Windows or Mac, many other compression programs are still capable of unpacking it. WinRAR is available on Windows, OSX, and Linux, despite the name.

However, only a command-line tool is provided and it's NOT free. You have to pay it to unarchive files compressed with WinRAR. But wait, why not use another top Mac rar unarchiver WinZIP, which can open RAR & ZIP files on Mac fast and easy. WinZIP is fully compatible with Mac, including OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Instantly opens and extracts RAR, ZIP. This has no sense. In old versions of Mac OS X, when you install the unrar utility (command line application) from Ports (a Linux port of the command), the system automatically recognize the new format like it does with zip files. Now I have unrar installed, however the OS doesn’t recognize the file format, I don’t know why. WinRAR For Mac Download. If you download WinRAR for Mac you will get: Simpler ways of operation, easier user interface, efficient file compressing, and command line based interface for more advanced users, creation of self-extracting archive files – everything’s like a click away on WinRAR for Mac OS X.

Here is how to install a free command line UnRAR tool (a RAR file extractor) and the RAR tool on Mac OS X. It’s simple and did I mention it’s free?

There is an image at the end of this post showing the steps taken in Terminal. Also, if you have Homebrew installed, you can use this for the installation of UNRAR. See instructions further down the page.

Step 1

Download latest RAR for OS X “RAR 5.2.1 for Mac OS X” (or a later version if there is one) from RARLab.

Assuming that file is downloaded to your ~/Downloads folder, double click it to extract the files. 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). In that folder is a /rar folder. So the full path is ~/Downloads/rarosx-5.2.1/rar

If you downloaded it to some other location then your file path will be different. Whatever it is, make a note of it.

Step 2

Open Terminal.app. Just type Terminal into Spotlight (Command-Space to quickly access Spotlight). In Terminal.app type or paste the following (again remember to change the version number if you have a later version):

Step 3

For OS X up to 10.9.x (if using Yosemite, first follow instructions as indicated a little further down the page)

Now type or paste:

Whilst you’re at it, you might as well install the RAR tool too. Use this command in Terminal:

For OS X 10.10.x (Yosemite)

In Apple OS X 10.10.x (i.e. Yosemite) there is no /usr/local/bin folder by default. So you will need to first create this folder.

Now following the above instructions “For OS X up to 10.9.x”

Step 4

After you hit enter on that command Terminal will prompt you for your password. Type it in and hit enter.

Step 5

To test the installation went okay simply type unrar into Terminal. You should see a lot information appear in terminal. This is simply the details on how to use unrar and it shows that unrar is install.

To do an extraction use the x switch as shown below.

TIP: To save yourself typing out the full path to the RAR file, you can simply grab the file in Finder and drag it onto Terminal. Do that after you’ve typed in unrar x(space)

There you go. All done.
