how do we work with *.tgz file?
Hi,
How do we work with *.tgz files? I want to install on of these kinda of file, so what command do I use? tar??? |
A *.tgz file could be either a *.tar.gz file (extesion shortened-not that common now) or a Slackware package.
If you must ask, it is usually best to use a package made for your distribution or compile from souce (usually *.tar.gz now-a-days). Is this an unusual or older program not available in a Suse RPM or is it just the first file you have found of it? |
If its a Slackware Package (it would say it on the website), then you use:
installpkg [packagename].tgz Other than that, its just a shortening for tar.gz , so use it just like you would any tarball. tar -xvzf [filename].tgz |
Thank you contrasutra and 2damncommon, I got it.
It was a tar.gz, I used the command (by contrasutra) and it worked. Thank you very much both of you! Now how do I have to run/execute the program? it has this executable file 'ic4'. As far as I know its a GUI program. |
Got it, just have to change PATH!
Thank you. |
