Is the file you found a .iso file? If it is, that's good! But don't open it with WinRAR. Instead, burn it to a DVD using software that can burn a disc image, or use Rufus to make a bootable USB stick.

Please be aware that there are different ways of installing Ubuntu, and some of them will erase everything on your computer, including Windows itself. Please make backups of all important files and read up on dual-boot setups, if that's what you're aiming for.

I don't know what you found as a winrar file. The forms of Ubuntu 16.04 can be found at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/, or http://www.ubuntu.com/download. I wouldn't trust something that you are finding somewhere else.

There are some net install options as you can see from the official download site. The best way would be to download the iso and burn it to a DVD, then follow the GUI for the install.
