If you are a Mac user, you might have encountered a problem when trying to open RAR files. Mac operating systems do not have an option for opening RAR files by default. However, there is a simple solution to this problem. In this post, we will show you how to use WinRAR on Mac to open RAR files.
First, you need to download a tool called “The Unarchiver” from the App Store. To do this, click on the Apple icon on your screen and select the App Store. Then search for “The Unarchiver” and click on the first option that appears. This option should be the free version of The Unarchiver. Click on “Get” to install it on your Mac operating system.
Once the app is downloaded, you can open it from the Launchpad. The Unarchiver will show you a welcome window when you open it for the first time. Click on “Next” and then “Close” to close the window.
To extract your RAR file, select the file option in The Unarchiver and then select “The Unarchiver to Desktop” option. If your RAR file is in another folder, you can choose “The Unarchiver to Current Folder” or “The Unarchiver 2”. Select your RAR file and click on the “Unarchive” button. The app will ask you where you want to extract your file. Choose your desired location and click on “Extract”.
Now you can see all the files inside the extracted folder on your desktop. The icon on the folder should also change to indicate that it has been extracted. From now on, when you double-click on RAR files, they will be extracted automatically.
In conclusion, using WinRAR on Mac to open RAR files is a simple process. By downloading The Unarchiver from the App Store, you can easily extract RAR files on your Mac operating system.
