Enable Opening of .rar Files from Ubuntu Archive Manager

Download the (latest) rar http://files.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz

Extract the content using tar -xvvzf rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz

Copy the file "rar" inside the extracted folder to "usr/bin"

That's it and now archive manager can open .rar files.
