howto install firefox and thunderbird on debian sarge
I've downloaded and extracted thunderbird and firefox. I can run them as root, but how do I change them so I can run them as user? I've tried the following;
Thanks # chmod u+x /home/user/DOWNLOADS/thunderbird/thunderbird # chown user /home/user/DOWNLOADS/thunderbird/thunderbird # chown user /home/user/DOWNLOADS/firefox/firefox # chmod u+x /home/user/DOWNLOADS/firefox/firefox ALSO, how do install emacs? I downloaded and extracted emacs-21.4/ but can't config it. SORRY. Just remembered how to read the README and INSTALL files!!! |
A standard path for Firefox is /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/
It shouldn't be chown'ed (of course you should have permissions for reading and executing), but you will not be able to update it thru FF's menu (Help->Check_for_Updates...) if you do not have write permissions. Code:
mv /home/user/DOWNLOADS/firefox /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox Code:
chown user -R /home/user/DOWNLOADS/firefox Igor |
