Winrar in Ubuntu

winrar, a popular compression software, is not available on linux.Although, a command line variant is available, but, if you are as lazy as i am then you would not like to type 5 commands to unrar a file. fortunately, there is a workaround, which is as simple as 123
1. Download winrar from rarlabs website. Uncompress the downloaded file
2. Install xArchiver from Synaptic Package Manager
3. log in as root and run this command

cp /location of unzipped files/rar /usr/bin/

cp /location of unzipped files/unrar /usr/bin/

Yipee!
