How to Install Winrar on Centos 8?

WinRAR is a well-known tool for creating and extracting .rar archives. On CentOS 8, WinRAR is not available in the default repositories, but you can install it using the rar package from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository.

Step 1: Enable EPEL Repository

First, enable the EPEL repository:

sudo dnf install epel-release -y

Step 2: Install WinRAR (RAR package)

Once the repository is enabled, install the rar package:

sudo dnf install rar -y

Step 3: Verify Installation

Check if WinRAR is installed correctly:

rar

If installed successfully, you will see the available commands and options for using rar. WinRAR (via the rar package) is now installed on CentOS 8. You can easily compress and extract .rar files from the terminal.
