I am trying to extract an iso of a gamecube game from a .7z file, but it wont work. Usually, I'd have WinRAR in Windows, but Ubuntu 14.04 isn't Windows.

7zip is good for this and it integrates with the archive manager.
Install
p7zip(and some add-ons to make sure you can open all formats)sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install p7zip p7zip-full p7zip-rar
Try opening the .7z archive again.

7zip didnt seem to install. Its not showing in my apps list or opening that archive. – UberSteak Dec 21 '15 at 19:56

you may have a damaged archive, did the download come with a md5 sum or what error does archive manager show when you try to open? – Mateo Dec 21 '15 at 20:57

No, I'm saying I don't think 7 zip installed, even though I ran the sudo command. – UberSteak Dec 22 '15 at 04:57

You just need to install p7zip-full.
$sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
Then extract package using: 7z x YOUR_FILE.7z
Example:
$ ls
MyDir.7z
$ 7z x MyDir.7z
