Why not just use unrar instead? It may already be installed on your system. If not, you can install it with sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree.

Hi and Welcome,

if you want to learn then i would suggest you learn in Linux way only.
check this Tutorial: How to Install Softwares in Linux?

you can use 'unrar' to extract 'rar' archives.
execute this

man unrar

go through manual and learn.
