> I had a doubt about how to run a software from terminal itself. You can run any program from the (Console/GUI) terminal. If that program needs X then you should run it from GUI terminal.
When a program name entered @ prompt, then shell search for that program in the pre-defined PATH (echo $PATH) and run it. If it is not in the PATH, then shell show "command not found" message. To run a program, which is not in the PATH, go the program folder (cd /usr/local/mydir) and run (./prgName) or give the full path /usr/local/mydir/prgName. To run it like any other commands, add this folder to the PATH (export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mydir). To know more about PATH, read man bash.
