Or its RAR plugin is already built into an archiver and included in its price. Even if you download a third-party archiver, whose developers claim that it can create archives in the RAR format, you will have to download and install WinRAR separately to activate this function. No other archiver can do that (or rather it isn’t allowed by the RAR license). The biggest advantage of WinRAR for Mac OS X is the creation of RAR format archives. And it is this version the developers release the new archiver updates without delays in. Nevertheless, WinRAR for Mac OS exists, and working with the command line requires some special knowledge. Which is very weird, since the system created by Apple - as well as many other products of that company - is focused first and foremost on making the interaction of users with the machines easy.

The developers allow the Mac users to work with RAR and UnRAR modules only from the command line. WinRAR for Mac OS X - as well as the Linux version - doesn’t have a GUI. Likewise, if we have RAR archives that have been divided into different parts, something very common on direct download sites, RAR Expander will be able to join these parts without any problems.WinRAR creators made sure the users of all the popular modern operating systems have their own version of the file archiver. At the same time, RAR Expander fully supports AppleScript, with the possibility to use it to improve this tool's functions. One of the positive aspects of RAR Expander is the use of the unRAR library, the only official one that guarantees total support for the features of the compressed RAR archives on our Mac, moreover, it will even allow us to open password protected archives. Once this program has been installed among our applications, we will be able to open RAR files on a Mac just as the ZIP files are opened, this means, once we double click on the archive, and without requiring a graphic interface, it will extract all the files that it contains wherever we indicate.

RAR file expanderīut thanks to RAR Expander this lack will be fixed. The faultless way the system works when opening ZIP files is contrasted with the lack of tools to open RAR archives on a Mac. RAR Expander is here to cover the inexplicable lack of applications that allow us to open RAR files on the Mac OS X platform.
