Question #77346 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77346
Tom proposed the following answer: try going up to the top taskbar and click on Applications - Accessories - Terminal and into the terminal/command window/console start typing the name of one of those C/C++ programs but as you type keep tapping on the "Tab" key. A single tab acts a bit like "predictive texting" on a mobile phone, but a bit more intelligently - a lot of mobile phones run off very tiny specialist versions of linux ;) A double-'click' on the tab key shows a list of all the options that are available from what you've typed so far. So using the tab key should help you complete the name of the command you've installed, or complete a long pathname and is generally quite hlpful. If you're entering a command in the terminal console then try typing " -h" or " --help" after the command to get a quick "cheat sheet" on how to use the command. This can also help if you're not quite sure what a command does and don't really want to run it without finding out. Try typing totem -h and then try totem to see what happens :) I hope this helps!
