What's a "RAR" file and how do I use it?

Modified on Sun, 6 Apr at 8:56 PM

Files with the ".rar" extension are large compressed files, similar to a ".zip" file. It acts like a container for lots of smaller files.

The files for your product are inside the rar file, so you'll need to use an app to extract them.

If you are on Mac, we recommend using TheUnarchiver to do this.

On Windows, popular options are 7zip, or WinRar, or the native functionality built into Windows.
