To install a program, open a terminal window, and follow the next steps :
- If its extension is .tar.gz :
1. Untar the files : "tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz"
2. Goto the directory that was created by tar : "cd directory"
3. read the INSTALL or README files (usually uppercase!), for installation instructions. (using "vi filename").
4. If there are no instruction, or if you don't want to read them, use the most common instructions:
4.1. type "./configure"
4.2. type "make"
4.3. become root (type "su" and then your root password)
4.4 type "make install"
- If their extension is .rpm, It's only for RedHat linux:
1. install them using : rpm -i filename.rpm
- All the Links were tested before they were added to the site. If you find any "dead" link, please notify us.
- The downloadable files are only for most of the Linux distros, especially RedHat, Debian & SuSe. They MAY work on other distributions too.
- Most of the programs require at least Kernel v2.x, GLibc, X-Free86 (X-Window), QT 1.44.
- We put here only the best programs we find, not every program
