I can't install the Opera browser
I have downloaded the latest Opera browser and placed it in a folder called 'Opera'
It was tarball. I expanded it correctly. I have tried in vain to install it. I don't understand the problem. Could you help me? I logged in as a root user and changed into the 'Opera' folder. It expanded beautifully. The following shows you all the files. The name of the downloaded file is --> opera-7.54-20040803.5-shared-qt.i386-en.tar.gz ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@h27n2fls301o1037

You need to be in the same directory as install.sh when you run it.
Try that. |
You are on the right track.
I moved into that directory. The following shows: root@h27n2fls301o1037 Opera]# cd opera-7.54-20040803.5-shared-qt.i386-en/ [root@h27n2fls301o1037 opera-7.54-20040803.5-shared-qt.i386-en]# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Afterwards I wrote the install command and pressed enter.

Finally I was succeded. Now it is working. I went into the 'bin' subfolder. It is inside the 'Opera' folder. I found the correct file there and double clicked it.
It is working. |
