You have to extract the .RAR archive using something like WinRAR or 7Zip. All the files you need are within the archive, so just extract it to wherever you want to store Brutal Doom v21 and then run it from there.

I've tried extracting the files in 7Zip, but everytime I get an "cannot open file brutalv21.rar as archive" error message. Any ideas?

I've just tried opening brutalv21.rar in 7Zip and it opens and extracts just fine. Maybe your download is corrupt? Try downloading Brutal Doom again.

You have to extract the .pk3 file out of the .rar archive (with a program like 7zip this is basic computer operations since the 90's) and then use that pk3 file to run brutal doom.
