i am in the process of getting used to linux suse but i have a problem installing software
for ex i tried to install stoq software the command is '% python setup.py install"
and i get a message "no such job "


i then tried to install a software called calamar with no results
the document said download jedit and click to start install but when i click it it opens the file and the contents of the file are displayed but nothing else happens


i must be doing somthing stupid anyone can tell me if theres a simple way of installing software on linux suse 8.0
thanx

shamz,

Don't get discouraged. It takes a while to get used to the
little linux/unix tidbits that old timers take for granted.


I'm not familiar with what you are trying to install, but I'm pretty sure the command is really:

python setup.py install

and not

% python setup.py install


The "%" is where the documentation author probably copy and pasted his command prompt, "%" along with the command, or he took for granted that most people know "%", "#", or "$" are standard prompt characters.
