Install .zip and .7z Support In Ubuntu

I was using Linux Mint for 2 releases now, i installed latest Ubuntu to test it and today i downloaded some .rar and .7z archives and in Archive Manager manager i was getting error that "Archive type no supported".



First i thought that archive is corrupted so i downloaded from other mirror and i got same error.
Then i remembered that Ubuntu don't come with support for .zip and .7z archives :facepalm: (Linux Mint have support for .zip and .7z by default).

To open .zip and .7z archives in Ubuntu open terminal and type:

For .zip
sudo apt-get install unrar-free 
For .7z

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full 
Because this small things i switched to Linux Mint in first time.
