Just install one of the supported archive managers to use p7zip via graphical interface, and no further configuration is needed. 7z can be used with any of the supported graphical file archivers, including file-roller, ark, xarchiver, engrampa.p7zip on ArchWiki has noted the difference between 7z, 7za and 7zr binaries. 7zr and 7za commands will not work and only 7z command will work with the RAR format.

p7zip-full provides 7z command that can handle more supported formats and p7zip-rar is required for 7z to handle RAR archives. Short explanation: p7zip provides 7zr command that can only handle 7z archives. Then run the 7z command to extract the RAR file. Install the required package 'p7zip-rar' that will additionally include 'p7zip-full' as one of the package dependencies the other package 'p7zip' is not required at all. Ensure that the main and non-free respositories (or universe and multiverse repositories for Ubuntu) are enabled and updated first. For Debian (and Ubuntu), p7zip is available in three different packages from the repositories. With the packages, p7zip will require separate packages to handle all supported formats and installation is necessary. That means the command-line tool can be run as soon as the download file (tar.bz2) is extracted by a native archive manager on Linux. With the binaries and source code, p7zip is available in a single download file that can handle all supported formats and installation is optional.

When using p7zip to open the RAR file, the command failed with message "Error: Can not open file as archive", then how to solve.

Which binary of 7z, 7za, or 7zr can open the RAR file.

Which package to install for p7zip to support RAR format, and which repository would provide the package.

This question may cover the following sub-questions (without the question marks, as not to be confused with the main question), which are relevant to explain the how-to:

The RAR file itself is not broken for sure. p7zip should be able to open RAR files like 7-zip does, but some recently downloaded RAR files can not be opened using p7zip. P7zip is essentially the 7-zip archive manager on Linux, except that does not include the graphical interface.
