Get RAR support on UBUNTU LINUX

Do you have a bunch or RAR files from windows, and want to use them under ubuntu linux?

The rar files are copyright protected, so the native installation of archive manager doesn't come with rar support. But there is a simple solution to get things done with only 2 lines of terminal code:

start your teminal: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
enter or copy and paste line by line: (paste in terminal is SHIFT+CTRL+V)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rar unrar

That's it. Now you can use rar files in your native gnome archive manager.
