    Search for 'unrar'. That should work. Otherwise you can download and compile RAR for linux (shareware?) from rarlabs. Googling for it will do the trick

    Debian users:

    1.
    Code:
    su
    2.
    Code:
    apt-get install -f
    3. You will be asked this question:
    After unpacking 242kB disk space will be freed.
    Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
    Code:
    y
    you are done!

    and then reinstall unrar package
