How do I install software for all users (in this case Ubuntu 9.10)?
 
Installing from software Software Center gives you 0 options and installs in the current user's home directory. Any idea how I can install the app for all users without logging in and install from there?

use synaptic package manager

The CLI way is with apt-get

or you can use aptitude

How do you know that Ubuntu's Software Center installs stuff in the user's home directory?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter

says s/w is installed system wide.

OP is wrong

Where? In that case it is wrong. NetBeans installs in home

Must be 'NetBeans' specific or a bug. It always needs to use sudo to install. I installed the package manager in Kubuntu-10.04 and installed apvlv ... it is in /usr/bin
