how to install apollon??
 
i want to install apollon, however i have a few questions before starting the process

im running redhat 9, i have read several threads regarding apollon but have yet to find one that clearly explains step by step how to install apollon. im a newbie and learning, so bare with me

i went to apollon's site and they have all in one package that im thinking about downloading
here are my questions
should i create a directory to download apollon ? or can i place i on my home directory?

most threads i read mentioned installing an gft file first(forgive me if mispelled it), if thats the case where do i get that file?

i would like a step by step as far as which files to get, which ones to install first, where to place them, what comands to run, etc

thanks in advance

either u enter its name in the "run command" or u will find it added to ur menu
or if u want u can type :
cd /usr/bin
./apollon

thanks heema, tried what you said, but did not work
i know the tar.gz package in the hom/user directory, so i tried cd /home/user
then
./apollon and i get this
bash: ./apollon: No such file or directory
any ideas??

yeah as it didnt install there
have u tried
cd /usr/bin
./apollon

and u can do :
updatedb
locate apollon

BTW updatedb updates the slocate database so when u type locate <file> it shows u where it is instantly
