> I am having trouble installing all programs I have downloaded with the
extensions: .tar.gz or .tar.bz Can I get some help on this?
On my openSuSe, I would do this
1. Unzip the package
- "tar -zxvf package.tar.gz" or "tar -zxvf package.tar.bz"
2. Enter the directory extracted files have been put
- "cd extracted_package_folder"
3. Look for the README or INSTALL files
- "ls" and or "ls folder_name"
4. Befriend their content (Read to detail)
- "less README" or "less INSTALL"
Ignore the quotation marks used and replace "package name" with your
download file name. Else, using TAB saves you much.
A better version to all the above can be found if you strike a partnership
with Google
