please tell me how can i install rar (only).

Thanks,

It’s in the non-free repo: https://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/rar

Simply add non-free to your /etc/apt/source.list: 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy non-free’

… and install rar.

Done.

Thanks for that tip, Andrei! I just installed and tested it. While
unrar does work, I'm happier to use something from 'main' than from
'non-free' :)
