    Bash is the shell, or command language interpreter..

    Can you explain a bit further?

    OR if it's a zip or rar, then you'll need unzip and unrar packages installed.

    Use tar to extract it, and after that you can install it.

    tar for rar tar etc.
    unzip for .zip
    gunzip for gunzip.

    Search on Google for EXACT parameters of the command you're trying to run, or it might cause an error in file, it wrong parameter is chosen.

    Assuming you have redhat based OS, type in shell :

    To install unrar package :
    # yum install unrar

    To extract a rar archive :
    # unrar e file.rar
