How open *.package - files?
 

I downloaded *.package file with a program archive, how open this file?

What program did you download, from where?? What is the file name? What version/distro of Linux are you using???

From this: http://www.armagetronad.net/downloads.php
I have Ubuntu 9.10
file-name:armagetronad-0.2.8.2.1.i686-generic-linux-gnu.package

Several download links on that page...which did you click??

And since that's an Ubuntu package, try "apt-get armagetronad"

so, make the file executable
and execute it

why do people not read and research ???

artem k. --- what destro are you using?

i gather you are using Ubuntu ? right?

Please put this information in your profile so we do not have to look for it . Thank's
and until you get a good handle on building software and installing "generic" packages i would stick with using "apt-get" -- YOUR PACKAGE manager for Ubuntu .

Use Synaptic or do sudo apt-get install armagetronad
