@ ojesymsym Ok, if I might add. Software for linux are packaged in very different format, depending on the distribution. e.g Red Hat uses rpm, debian uses deb. But when it come to packaging software for any brand of linux, there comes the .bin, tar, tar.gz. All these are archiving files like winzip. To install any of them, you have to uncompressed the tar file into a folder. Sorry depending the level you want to install the package. Set the file permission, if I want the application to read,write and execute by all the user of my linux box, I will just use the chmod command: sudo chmod 777 file_name To extract the file, you can use the archive graphical tool. Left click on the tar file and select open with archive manager or down and select extract here. After the extraction, you will see a readme file, in it all the process of installation will be stated. Once you identify the the file that contain the installation script. Type sudo ./file_name That's all. Any doubt ? Just Post |
