unrar ubuntu help
Each time I setup a new VPS and try to install unrar I get this:
$ apt-get install unrar
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another sourceE: Package 'unrar' has no installation candidate
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Try unrar-nonfree?
The unrar package is hosted on the Multiverse repository, so first you'll need to enable the Multiverse repository in Software & Updates
See https://askubuntu.com/questions/41791/whats-the-easiest-way-to-unrar-a-file
Maybe that's the solution.
What Debian/Ubuntu/Kali/whatever version it is?
What does
sudo apt-cache search unrar
return? (assuming "sudo apt-get update" has been run)
I used to see 'unrar-free' package.
You know how to enable the Multiverse repository using command line?
I cant, is for rutorrent and it asks for unrar command
Is ubuntu 15 but I have seen same error in my other vps with Ubuntu 16
apt-cache search unrar:
I cant use unrar-free
Using this command I was able to install it, thanks!
apt-add-repository multiverse && sudo apt-get update
@NANO , strange. Try to install p7zip and p7zip-rar packages as an alternative to unrar
Sure, do you want a cup of coffee for starters? GOOGLE THAT SHIT BRUH
You can also do this:

That is for centos, I use ubuntu as the title says.
I ALWAYS use google search before ask ANYTHING BRUH.
#apt-get dicks
I prefer apt-get -y pussys
Those do not work with hashtags, unless they're 420.
Should be apt-get install dicks
Should be apt-cache search dicks.
For future use, I'd recommend using dtrx. That way you don't have to install individual packages for zip, rar, bz2, etc. archives and can just use the dtrx command.
Yeah needing a full Python and libraries support is a much more smooth setup than installing about 2MB of prebuilt binaries.
Well I mean, my dumbass installs fail2ban on every one of my servers for basic protection since I am lazy and don't want to spend the time setting up other stuff that is leaner, but needs more fine tuning. So all my boxes have python anyways.
Not too much of a concern unless you're on a 64mb box :P
