It looks like you don't have the application.

Earlier in this thread, Muggins suggested downloading and installing this: unrar.pup

thanks it works for me. But doesn't it work with long rar filenames with spaces? when a filename is too long I rename it in 1.rar.

At mine puppy (puppy linux 4.1 retro) unrar wasn't installed and I installed it from the offcial repository of puppy 3 (pet_packages-3,filename ''unrar-3.4.3.pet'') which worked fine.

Most later versions of Puppy Linux come with unrar preinstalled by default. If it does not seem to be present in yours, you can download the .pet package from:

If you want the extraction process to work automatically when you click on a .rar file (as opposed to using the terminal), you can use XArchive as follows:

Right-click on a .rar file.
Select the option "Set run action".
At the bottom, enter the command:

xarchive "$1"

Next time you click on a .rar file, XArchive should open automatically.
