.sh formats for linux programs
It seems i have difficulties in installing applications in tar.gz
I need where to find .sh formats app for easy installatiom on my linux. |
From what I have read, you can install .rpm files (similar to .exe files). You should always try to install apps via your software/package manager first.
If the software you require is not available in your repositories, you should then try and find it as a xxxx.rpm file. Finally if it is an app that you must have and it's not availble other than as a tar.gz, it's time to start learning how to install from source. Search this forum for installing from source or something similar. There is an excellent how-to on doing just that. |
As suggested above, your first and foremost priority should be your package manager. like
yum, apt-get, aptitude and smart... as far as compiling form source is concerned ... first download tar.tgz file .. unzip it.. tar -xzvf your_file.tgz now run ./configure then run make and finally make install i know there would surely be dependency problems... and you'll end up in smoke.. better think about package manager.. like yum and apt-get.. Cheers!! |
It would certainly help if you could tell us more what kind of trouble/difficulties you have.
What have you tried? How did you proceed? |
