Installing .bin-files, leave the file in /usr/local/bin/ ?
Are you supposed to leave the .bin-file in the /usr/local/bin/ directory? I tried to mv the file but access was denied. I also tried to move the file in Konqueror. Same thing access denied.

.bin files are normally self-installing binaries. You should be able to just run them, providing they are executable: "chmod +x nameOfFile.bin", and then
Code:
./nameOfFile.bin /usr/local/bin is a directory that contains programs that you want to run. Any executable in here you can run simply by typing its name. /usr/local/bin should be in your $PATH, which is the list of directories that is searched for executables. To write to this directory, you need to be root. You don't need to put the installer file in /usr/local/bin, you can run it from any directory. I hope this helps --Ian |
