“Parsing filters unsupported” error during extraction of RAR file

up vote 159 down vote accepted

You can use:

sudo apt-get install unrar

or

sudo apt-get install unar

I recommend you install only one of these (unrar in my case). Then use archive manager:

sudo apt-get install file-roller

I did install unrar:

sudo apt-get install unrar

then to extract, go to the path of the .rar file and:

unrar x [filename.rar]
