General question about installing

[rokytnji]

I applaud your enthusiasm.  You sound about as manic as I was when I 1st started using Linux.

So. Even though you are running with scissors blissfully on a icy sidewalk.  I'll try and coach you a little with linux file structure using command line. So when you ask a question. You can show exactly what you are trying to get across.

Example. Hi. I just downloaded  batti-gtk

I extracted the download into /home

Code:

harry@biker:~
$ ls
backup           cl1           Documents               Images       Pictures  test
batti-0.3.8      cl2           Downloads               Isos         Public    Themes
Books            Claws_Themes  Games                   mocdata.py   S7        Videos
Calibre Library  Comics         mocpdata.py  Screeny   Wallpaper
Cartoons         Desktop       Icons                   Music        scripts   weather.sh

Inside the batti folder is this

Code:

harry@biker:~
$ cd batti-0.3.8/
harry@biker:~/batti-0.3.8
$ ls
AUTHORS  batti  batti-0.3.8.tar.gz  build  ChangeLog  COPYING  data  po  setup.py  src

How do I launch it or install it?

I am showing a tar source file example but this post is just to help you on how how to ask your app or firefox question with some more details so members get a better handle on what you are trying to accomplish.

Usually a left click will launch a app. But maybe opening the folder the app is in. Hit Alt + F2 to bring up the run dialog. My box has a run in terminal box to check in gexec. Then you can see I guess.





Good luck on a friday.
