You can use "unrar x" or "unrar e". You can find out more about unrar commands by entering the command "unrar" without any arguements into a terminal.

what do i have to do to unrar this all i want to do is burn the game why is this doing this?

[daark.child]

What is the full name of the file you are trying to unrar?

[doomvodka]

i open my home folder and its one file its

Silent hill 4 the room.rar

thats it

[daark.child]

So the right command would be something like

unrar x "Silent hill 4 the room.rar"
