How do I install tar bz2 and gz files?
I'm trying to install "Sunflower" file browser app in Ubuntu. I downloaded the installer and it's a .TGZ file. How do I install it?
Can somebody walk me through the steps from de-compressing to what must be keyed in to the terminal and where must I place the installation folder.
The file is saved on home folder, under a folder called "Downloads". I renamed the compressed file to just "Sunflower.tgz" and moved it on the Home Folder.
I typed "tar xfvz sunflower.tgz on terminal but can't find the file. Is it because I renamed it?
.tgz
is just a shortening of.tar.gz
. You can extract it by right clicking it. And you should note that everything in Linux is case sensitive. If you rename something toABC
and then try to access it fromabc
it won't work.
