[SOLVED] Help with unrar.

[jroc011]

If it wasn't already apparent, I'm new to the Ubuntu community and I cannot for the life of me get unrar to work for me. I've read that the command necessary to use unrar goes something along the lines of this:

unrar x file.rar

But no matter what I try, it can't find the RAR file I want to extract.
The file is located in my temp folder, do I need to move it?
I'm absolutely baffled by a problem that seems so easy to figure out.

Any help on this would be absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

Can you post the command exactly as you're typing it? And post any error messages?

You said the file was in your temp folder, are you perhaps not giving the full path to the file?

So if I had a file.rar in /tmp, the command would be

unrar x /tmp/file.rar

You may want to move the file, since I doubt you want to store the files in /tmp.

That did it! I simply wasn't directing it to the temp folder.
Thank you very much.
