Linux Directory Structure/Installing Applications
In advance, thanks for your help.
I need a document or a book suggestion that will explain the Linux directory structure and I need help understanding how to install an application in Linux. Thanks:study: |
Search for the Linux FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard)

Depends on what distro you are using and what type of file you downloaded. For debian and Ubuntu you use .deb files and the apt-get program will search repositories for the installs. Or you can compile your programs from the sources normally by doing
Code:
./configure //Some programs don't come with a configure |
Always start with the package manager in your GUI menus. It will have a name including "package" or "install software" or something similar. The first choice is always the packages in the repository for the distro.
