Download WinRAR 6.10 / 6.11 Beta 1 (Mac) Free

If you’ve recently switched from Windows to Mac, you probably know what the equivalent of WinRAR on Mac is. Fortunately, the developers of WinRAR provide a Mac version.

WinRAR is a command line tool designed to help users compress, decompress and encrypt files in RAR format.

Unfortunately, WinRAR does not provide a user interface and all operations must be run from a terminal window. In other words, it’s not as easy to use on Mac as it is on Windows.

The package offers a 40-day trial period and includes the rar and unrar tools, rar for creating archives and unrar for extracting RAR files.

If you want to be able to run RAR for macOS utilities from any folder on your Mac, you can copy them to usr/local/bin, where all UNIX programs that normal users will use should be installed.

In order to extract a RAR archive, you must open a terminal window, go to the folder where you want to extract the files, and type the unrar command line followed by the “x” parameter and the archive path you want to use for extraction.

To list all available commands and switches, you can simply run the rar or unrar command line utility from a terminal window and a usage message will appear.

WinRAR offers a long list of features that enable you to create password-protected archives, batch extract RAR files, and more.

Sadly, it specifically supports RAR files, ZIP and other formats that are only supported by the Windows version.

All in all, WinRAR is a powerful and versatile utility that can help you extract and create RAR archives. Unfortunately, the lack of a user interface pushes novice and inexperienced users away.
