Wondering how to open a RAR file on your Mac?
Well, you’re not alone. ?
Many of the files you tend to open these days come in either a ZIP (.zip) file or a RAR (.rar) file. But unlike ZIP files, Apple’s macOS (or OSX) which is the operating system on your Mac does not have the tools needed to open RAR files on its own.
You will need a third-party app to open an RAR file and extract its contents. Now there’s tons of apps on your Mac’s App Store that you can download to open RAR files but what most Mac users have found and personally myself has been The Unarchiver app.
It’s a free, small in size, and simple app that helps you to unarchive (hence the name) many different kinds of files and not just RAR files. Think of it like a Swiss-army knife which comes in handy for opening many occasions (in this case opening different files you might find).
You can open ZIP, RAR (including v5), 7-Zip, Gzip, B-zip and even some of those older formats such as StuffIt and DiskDoubler. Not just that, it comes in handy too if you’re looking to open ISO or BIN disk images and a few Windows.EXE installers.
In this guide, I’ll show you how you can use The Unarchiver app to open and extract RAR files on Mac OSX. ?
How to Extract RAR files on Max OSX: 3 Steps
Step 1: Go ahead jump into your Mac App Store and look for The Unarchiver (I have added the link for you here). You can also download it from the The Unarchiver site.
Recommended
The developer of Unarchiver does recommend that you download it from his site rather than the Mac App Store because of the limitations and sandboxing requirements that are set by Apple.
Which basically means if you want to make sure that you are getting the Unarchiver app with all its latest capabilities, then download it from the Unarchiver site.
If not you can still choose to download it from the Mac App Store. Either way will still allow you to extract RAR files on your Mac OSX.
Step 2: Once you’ve installed The Unarchiver app, all that you have to do now to is just to drag and drop your RAR compressed file onto the Unarchiver’s icon.You can also right click on the RAR file on your Mac and then select Open With and then choose The Unarchiver.
Step 3: Finally, The Unarchiver will extract the compressed files into that same folder.
That’s it! You can use these files likehow you would with any of your other files. ?
Help! The Unarchiver is not working for me.
Have you updated your Mac’s operating system (OS) recently?
Then you’ll find that Unarchiver might not work as it usually does.
Here’s what you can do to fix it.
1.Reinstalling The Unarchiver.
Try to uninstall the app and then reinstalling from either the Unarchiver website or your Mac App Store. Sometimes the new Mac OS updates might tend to mess up the app, so the uninstall-reinstall should do the trick.
2.Firewall.
If you still find that Unarchiver doesn’t work for you, then it could most likely be that your Firewall may be getting in the way of the Unarchiver.
Just give the Unarchiver app arefresh by closing it and re-opening it to see if that has it fixed. If not, make sure that you have allowed Unarchiver to have access to receive incoming connections in your Security & Privacy in your Mac’s Settings.

Terminal
Hey
This post is very similar to a previous post I have done about unzipping files using Terminal. This time it is about unrar’ing files. Although this type of trick wont be used every single day for unraring files. Programs like stuffit can handle that, but this trick has one awesome feature which I will explain shortly. The first step of this trick is to download the binaries. Head over to the winrar site. Then using the following command copy it into the binary folders. These are system folders which enable you to run the unrar binary from any Terminal window.The first step is to change directory to where you downloaded and extracted the files and then type the following.
sudo mv unrar /usr/bin
or
sudo mv unrar /usr/local/bin

Either will work for using the binary. I think the second command is used if you want to use it only for your self.
The next step is to invoke the binary. Its a bit complicated. The first step as always is to change directory to the folder you .rar files are in. You could type the whole file path although I find it is easier to change directory first. Simply type the following to unrar the files you want.
unrar e file.part1.rar
You must make sure the “e” is present that tells the program to extract your files.
Probably one of the best features of this program is to extract broken archives. Broken archives are archives where you have only one (or more) of the complete set. For example if you haven’t downloaded the complete set but want to see the contents. If you try to extract these files normally, it will give an error saying incomplete archive. One simple addition to the command line and you can extract them normally. Simply type.

The kb part will tell the program to keep broken files. It may give an error but the extracted file will still exist. You can view and use these files in Finder as normal. Probably one of the best tips I have found in a long while and would have saved my lots of bandwidth and time with archives I don’t need.
There are a lots more options which you can use. Normally you would use man and then unrar, to view the manual page. This doesn’t for this program just simply type:
unrar
To get all of the help messages. This will also show you the syntax and any options associated.
This is a simple trick, which is only good for the broken file command. Still useful even if you don’t use it. You may never know when such as tip may come in handy.
If you want to take your skills with Terminal a bit further I recommend you check out the Terminal Category on this site. If you fancy reading a book there is a couple on Amazon that I regularly see mentioned and recommend, O’reilly Unix Geeks and Unix Under the Hood both are designed for Mac OS X and take Terminal further.
