I think I installed unicentra but cannot find it to run it?

In Linux when you install a program where does it go??

In Linux when you install supported software using your distros package manager it goes into /usr and subdirectories.
When you install from source by hand [as root] it usually goes into /usr/local and subdirectories, but you can change it if you want.
When you use some binary package, as it is the case right now, it can go anywhere, you must be able to figure it out by looking at install process in a terminal. Do not use GUI file manager, it will not reveal information you need. This install method really is unsupported and not recommended, but sometimes there is no easy choice.

Please see previous post. I tried start.sh but command not found.

What do I do now?

Now, while still in this directory, run

Code:

sh configure.sh

and fill in the information. Then follow up with

Code:

sh start.sh

Awesome!!! Thanks a LOT!

I ran the configure but really didnt know what to put in there so i figure I can go back and do that anytime. Ran start and it's up.

Thanks for the awesome help.

Is there a way to put a shortcut on the desktop or anything or do those steps need to be taken every time?

Emerson · 10-26-2015, 03:12 PM

You are welcome! How to put apps on desktop or menus depends on what WM/DE are used.
WM - Window Manager
DE - Desktop Environment
