install something
I found these instructions on installing someting on a linux machine, that says to install this program, all you have to do is run the install script. How do I do that?

something... this program...
;) Details there buddy! Usually the install script would be a file called install.sh or just install, and to run it you would type: ./install OR ./install.sh Cool |
What program are you trying to install ?
Without any more information this is all I can tell you, at a prompt: sh install.sh or ./install |
Make it executable first
chmod 755 <install script> # Guides to software and installation and uninstallation LNAG - How do I install a program I downloaded from the Internet? Rute Guide's software explanation You might want to check out CheckInstall to manage source code installations/uninstallation |
I'm installing adobe reader. I went to the .gnome-directory (where the INSTALL file is) and typed ./INSTALL and it worked, but now there's this license agreement that I have to hold the Enter button to get through, cause it has a more (30%) thing at the end, is there a faster way around that other than holding down the enter button?

That's the point, you are supposed to read that thing, that's the whole reason they have it there like that :D
Cool |
mmmhmmm, what if I've read it before? :study:
|
Then you can scroll quickly through it ;)
I don't know, have you tried a page down or "end"? Cool |
hmm, those might work....thanks, It's gonna take some time to get used to this. (guess that's why I'm in the newbies forum) LOL Thanks
