Hi thank you for this tutorial but i am beginner so when i type sudo apt-get install rar
it shows :

Reading package lists … DONE
Building dependency tree
Reading state information … Done
Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package rar has no installation candidate

You can install it (for Ubuntu 9.10) by going to Applications–> Ubuntu Software Centre –> Click on “Get Free Software” on left panel –> click on “Accessories” on right panel — find “rar” in the list and click the arrow to install the easy easy way — easier than any installation on any os I’ve ever done.
