should be a case of opening a terminal and typing the name of the program

or

making a link on the desktop/panel to the appropriate executable

I am not a newbie I know about installing a prog and running from trminal, dcgui has to be short, or an acronym for something, and you can read manual or help from the homepage of the project as well.

How do you find the name of the program you've installed?

How do you find the name of the program you've installed?

I usually type $whereis packagename

It usually comes up with a listing for the file that you installed somewhere. Typically anything you install is going to show up in the /usr/bin directory. You can also check the man pages for the package you installed. It'll give you the instructions to run the program.

yeah all i did was look through my folders and i did find it in usr/bin so that is a place to look for any programs you installed
