Red Hat 9: OPEN SETI!!
I am trying for the first time to open downloaded apps, particularly SETI. However, for any app, I always receive this error message: "Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying (file)"
What should I do? Please be specific. I'm a newbie newbie. Thanks for your previous solutions. |
First thing to learn:
In Linux YOU DONT JUST DOUBLE CLICK THINGS, THIS IS NOT WINDOWS. Thats why there are so many viruses in Windows. ;) There are a few ways to install programs: Compiling from source, installing a package (RPM). In the case of SETI, I believe its already compiled, just untar that tar.gz, change to the directory, and run the program. Like: tar -xvzf seti.tar.gz cd seti ./setiathome You have to replace file/folder names with the appropriate ones though. The first comand untars and uncompresses the file (a .tar is a bunch of files that have been converted into one big file, for storage purposes, and .gz is a compression technique, gzip. The next one changes to the newly untarred directory. The last command executes the program. |
it is not ziped
tar xvf seti(tab) |
