Under the download section, there are three links. You need to decide which is the package you need for your system. You're assuming you need Bolnagiri-in, which is correct, as far as I can see. > The following install instructions are a little sparse on explanation > for a new linux user like me: > > Bolnagri-in > True. It's very rare to find documentation which is really helpful for a newbie. Anyway, the first step is to right click on the 'Bolnagiri-in tarball', and then click on 'Save link as' option. This basically downloads the tarball package onto your machine. You can choose which directory to save this tarball at this stage. > 1. tar zxvf bolnagri-in.tgz (This command is to uncompress the tarball.) You need to open a command line terminal. Where have you saved the tarball? You need to be in that directory. Suppose you have saved it in your home. Then you'll have to do, from a command line, 'cd /home/swarup'. (The command cd stands for 'change directory'.) Once you have changed to the directory which contains the tarball, then give the command given in step 1 on the website, i.e. 'tar zxvf bolnagri-in.tgz'. Wait till it has finished untarring, i.e. till it comes back to the prompt. It would have created a directory called 'bolnagri-in'. > 2. cd bolnagri-in As you've guessed by now, this command asks you to change directory again. Just type 'cd bolnagri-in' and you'll be in the directory needed. > 3. ./install.sh Then type 'sudo ./install.sh'. This basically means that there is a script called install.sh in this directory bolnagri-in. Typing the command will run the script (as root, because of the sudo part), and presumably, install bolnagri onto your system. > Could you please tell me in plain English what I have to do > to install bolnagri-in in Ubuntu 7.04. I hope I've been able to do that. ;-) Do feel free to ask if there's anything unclear. -- - Hassath ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
