Tip: While ‘7-Zip’ is available for Linux, the ‘Unrar’ package seems to be more widely supported on the Internet. Recommend you use ‘Unrar’ for Linux.
Tip: The ‘Unrar’ license is fine and free for us to use because we are only unraring/decompressing the files. We are not creating new ‘.rar’ files.
- Congratulations, keep going.
