I like to install the least amount of apps as possible on my mac. So instead of installing an application just to unrar files like The Unarchiver, why not just use Terminal.app.

  1. Download the latest rar package from rarlab.
  2. Install those files with the following command: $ sudo install -c -o $USER unrar /bin ($USER is your username).
  3. Check the installation: $ unrar
  4. Unrar files: $ unrar x followed by your .rar file path.
