Normally, I would be this crass, but did you really bother trying to find out? google.com/search?q=linux+rar – Matthew Scharley Mar 25 '11 at 4:02
For *nix questions also try unix.stackexchange.com and askubuntu.com (if appropriate) :) – wez Mar 25 '11 at 8:10

User stated Linux, not a particular distribution - if its not a Debian derivative, probably won't have apt-get. – Rob Cowell Mar 25 '11 at 11:18
