Unrar should work if you have it installed. I think the right command is "unrar x" to extract.

if you use apt-get install rar you can get it that way, then you just need to read the man page, but here is the extraction command:

Code:

NAME
       rar - archive files with compression

SYNOPSIS
       rar <command> [-<switch 1> -<switch N>] archive [files...]

e      Extract  files  to current directory. Does not create any subdi-
              rectories.

so you would just:

rar e /location/of/file

and wait, it will extract your .rar file into the current directory.
