EXE files are Windows executable files, and are designed to be run as programs. Double-clicking any EXE file will start it. If the EXE file was downloaded from the internet, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to run it. Be wary when running EXE files from unknown sources, as this is the easiest way to get infected with a virus. Download Open Rar Os X 10.6.8 - real advice. RAR Extractor and 1 more program. Recover files from lost hard drives, camera cards, memory cards, RAID, deleted email, CD/DVD recovery and other storage devices on Windows XP/Vista/7/8 and Mac (OS9 & OSX) systems.

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.

Now you can UnRAR rar archives from the Command Line in Terminal.

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