Im new in Linux OS and I dont know how to install softwares yet. I donwloaded Mozilla Firefox 1.5.1 Beta and is in the format ".tar.gz". I already extract the files in it but now I dont know how to install this since is different from Windows. Can someone help me?
This is "third party" software, it has its one rules. I don't remember, is there some file install.sh? If it is, try with it in terminal where files are extracted: ./install.sh
you can install many things using apt-get... its a great tool... and i use it alot... for example, if i want firefox, i would type...
and it would not only download it, but install it too... its not that complex... if you havent set up apt-get properly... thenCode:apt-get update
apt-get install mozilla-firefox
setup up apt-get....Code:apt-setup
by the way... to install mozilla that one... extract the file... then open a shell, type in the location dir + install
that should open the installer...
Thank u all for your help. It worked :lol:
