How To: Get .rar Support in Fedora 13 [Two-Liner Command]
Let’s get right to the point. Here’s how to install .rar support in Fedora 13:
1.) Open the terminal
2.) Copy/Paste the following into terminal
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm' su -c 'yum install -y rar unrar'
3.) Refer to the following pages for usage
Create/Compress/Archive Almost Any File in Linux (tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, gz, bz, zip, 7z, rar, etc…)
Extract/Uncompress/Unarchive Almost Any File in Linux (tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, gz, bz, zip, 7z, rar, etc…)
P.S.
For those die-hard one-liner fans out there, you can use the following instead:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm && yum install -y rar unrar'

I had to use
su -c ‘yum localinstall –nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm‘
For some reason, “rpm -Uvh”, wouldn’t install the repos. But, it threw no errors while attempting to do so. ‘yum repolist’ would turn up notta (other than repos previously installed), no rpmfusion repos. Very strange..
Fedora 14 – updated as of today.

Forgot to mention, I didn’t look at the items installed to see what dependency was the problem. o.0
