'libunrar' Not Found for Python Executable, for Installing Stalker GAMMA

I am attempting to install STALKER GAMMA using a python based launcher/patcher. The python launcher requires the 'libunrar' library which cannot be found. The launcher's author suggests installing the library via RPM Fusion. Is this library already installed, and just not found? Should I use RPM Fusion to install it? Would it be possible/preferable to install the library for the GAMMA launcher specifically, rather than system wide? Am I asking the right questions? https://github.com/Mord3rca/gamma-launcher?tab=readme-ov-file#lookuperror-couldnt-find-path-to-unrar-library
Solution:
I assembled an (ubuntu) distrobox and installed the libunrar library. Needed to update the apt package list first. The python app is now running happily inside the distrobox.

distrobox might work

ok, good idea! I havent used one before, so I can look into that method. The app is a patcher, so it doesnt even need to run during the game. Would I use RPM Fusion inside the distrobox, then?
