Decompress The *.rar File in Ubuntu

Sometimes we need to download *.rar file from the website and we have to decompress the file to get the original file. In windows operating system its easy to decompress just right click to the file and click Extract Here...

But in Ubuntu to decompress the *.rar file open the Terminal window and type:
find -type f -name '*.rar' -exec unrar x {} \;

You can use 7-zip application (installing from add remove application) to easily compress and decompress the many types of format including *.rar
