hey guys in this video i'm going to show
you how you can open
a rar file on your mac operating system
so as you can see i have this sample dot
rar file on my mac operating system
and i want to open it so by default
there is uh no option for
opening this rar file when i press
ctrl and click on my mouse or right
click
on my mouse i don't see any option to
extract this rar file so
there is a simple uh tool which is
called un-archiver which we can
use to open this rar file
so what you need to do is you need to
just click on your apple icon and then
click on app
store you can also click on this app
store icon if you see it here and once
the app store opens what you need to do
here is
you need to search for the un archiver
okay so search for the an archiver
and the first option you which you will
see here
will be this option which says the on
archiver
you will also see multiple other options
but go with this option which is a free
option which is
called the archiver and then click on
get which is going to install
this archiver on your mac operating
system
and once this app is downloaded you can
close the app store
and you will be able to uh open the
unarchiver from the launchpad so
just click on the launchpad icon and you
can see this unarchiver here so let me
just open this
app from here so for the first time it's
going to show you this welcome window
you can click on next
and then click on next and
then you can close this window so once
this unarchiver
app opens you don't need to change
anything here
uh you will be able to see this
unarchiver option on the top
so you can see the file option here
and then you will be able to see edit
window and
the help option so just select the file
option
and then select this option which says
unarchiver to desktop okay
if your rar file is in some other folder
then you can choose
uh the archiver to current folder or you
can
choose uh the third option which is
unarchiver two
but because our rar file is in the
desktop so i'm going to choose this
option which says
un archiver to desktop and then select
the desktop option here and then select
your rar file so just select
the rar file which you want to unarchive
and then
click on the unarchive button which is
going to extract your rar file and it's
going to ask you where you want to
extract
this so i will choose the desktop for
now and then click on
extract which is going to extract my
file
on the desktop and now i can see all the
files
inside this sample
folder which is extracted so i can just
close this
and you will be able to see this sample
folder which is extracted using this
sample.r file
and when i open this i can see the files
inside this
folder and also you will be able to see
uh the icon on this uh
also changes so when you double click on
this uh
option so from the next time when you
double click on this
rar file it's going to extract the rar
file
automatically right so you don't need to
do all this uh
procedure once again so you can see
uh it has extracted this raw file once
again let me
just move it to the trash let me show
you once again when i double click on
this
it extracts the rar file and then you
can see
this sample folder is extracted
once again so this is how you can
extract your rar file on
your mac operating system i hope you've
enjoyed this video and i will see you in
the next
