Install

1. Download RAR_Extractor.dmg from the latest release
2. Open the DMG and drag RAR Extractor into your Applications folder
3. Launch the app — it will install any missing dependencies automatically on first run

First launch: A setup window appears if anything is missing (unar, Python packages). Click Install automatically and the app handles the rest — no Terminal needed.
