Previously I was using windows based system however recently I have switched to the Linux based operating system. I have tried to install the unrar on the computer of mine but it did not seems to be installing on the system at all. Let me know why I am unable to installed the unrar on the computer. If you are having any of the useful instruction post over here. Thanks a lot in advance.

I think there could be several reason which might be the root cause of the problem.

• Can you tell me which operating system do you have installed on the computer?
• Which Version of kernel you are using?
• Tell me about the hard ware configuration of the computer?
• Do you have done any recent changes on the computer?
