  1. I am not sure if this is in the wrong forum or not, and I couldn't find a forum for guides to dealing with software problems. This focuses on the .rar file type, and could be potentially applied to other .rar file archives. This is on Ubuntu 14.04, and so I am not sure if this would work on other versions of Ubuntu. On Ubuntu 14.04, I torrented the file from the main Elysium page Play Now. The file finished torrenting, and I decided to copy and paste from the file. It said there were errors with copying files such as WoWError.exe and WoW.exe. Naturally, I was frustrated. The installer without torrent that I knew of wasn't available. And, upon inspecting the original file archive, I realized the torrented file was a .rar file. So, I googled how I could extract the stuff in the archive. I am using Wine, but I am not sure if you could WinRAR on Ubuntu. So, what I did is I got the archive for Linux distributions using the following command line: When that was finished, I used the another command to actually allow me to use the unrar command in the terminal: Or the command Upon doing all of that, I then proceeded to try to extract the files. I failed once, extracting all the files without any folders. So, upon looking at the list of command modifiers for the unrar command, I found the following command worked: The quotation marks are there because the terminal got upset when I had spaces in the file name without those quotation marks around the name of the file. Also, be aware of the fact that wherever the wget command put the file it got is where it will extract the files to. I would love to hear any tips you have to improve the code, especially since I am a beginner, and am doing this on Ubuntu 14.04 on a Chromebook. Which does work by the way. It is incredibly annoying to play anything on a Chromebook other than browser games, put possible. There is a guide available online for more information about the unrar command and installing it on this site, provided to want to know more. If there are any issues let me know, and I will try to figure it out. If there are any issues with this post, such as being in the incorrect forum, I will try to get it moved, or otherwise copy-and-pasted over to the proper forum (wherever it is). Also, if there is enough people who want to know how to play World of Warcraft and other games that can be run on Linux, I might consider making a guide if there isn't one already. If you guys would like screenshots, I would more than happily replicate the process and take some, just let me know.
  2. Alrighty. I just wanted to post this in case anyone else had the problem. I couldn't find anything on the forums, and I am using Linux on a Chromebook, which means it didn't come with anything for rar files (Archive Mounter definitely wasn't working). I just thought posting a quick guide here could help anyone without such a thing already installed. Thanks for the reply though. My Linux knowledge is newbie at best, so I just resort to learning what I can from Google searches.
