Do you have homebrew? If so, you can install rar from there - brew install rar.

If you don't, could I suggest homebrew?

This, I would suggest brew install keka, for something with a GUI.

Rar is proprietary shitty file format made by russian for his own shitty archiver called winrar. Only way to unzip it is to use 3rd party software. "The unarchiver" works great for me, but you've told that it doesn't work for you

keka works fine, free if you download from their web

Two practical solutions if your Mac won't open RAR files as archives: RAR file extractors for Mac or damaged RAR file repair tools. Try famous RAR extractors like WinZip for Mac, The Unarchiver, P7zip, etc.
