I am learning bash scripting these days, its very useful and it helps us to automate many things.
I am sharing this script with the readers of VPS Geek.

Here's the code


#!/bin/bash
# simple bash script that will install rar
# by http://vpsgeek.blogspot.com/
echo "This script will install rar on your box"
echo "The installtion will begin in 5 seconds"
echo "Press Ctrl+C to cancel"
# move to a temp director
cd /tmp
# detecting the architecture
if $(uname -a | grep 'x86_64'); then
echo "this is 32 bit os, so lets install 64bit winrar"
wget http://rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-x64-3.8.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf rarlinux-x64-3.8.0.tar.gz
cd rar
./unrar
else
echo "this is 64 bit os, so lets install 32bit winrar"
wget http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz
cd rar
./unrar
fi
cp rar unrar /bin
