I'm trying to get djl (game manager) from: http://en.djl-linux.org/?q=node/19

After getting the pakage, I followed the instructions for installation from: http://www.unixmen.com/install-more-then-100-games-in-one-command/

I used the command tar -zxvf djl-1.2.14.tar.gz. And the output came out as:

dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ tar -zxvf  djl-1.2.14.tar.gz
tar (child): djl-1.2.20.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Then i used this command:

tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/djl-1.2.20.tar.gz

But i get this:

dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/djl-1.2.20.tar.gz

dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ 

Is it installed or not? When i search "djl" in dash it doesn't show.

The output of ls ~/Downloads | grep djl is :

dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ ls ~/Downloads | grep djl
djl-1.2.20.tar.gz
dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$

But if i use:

tar -xvf djl-1.2.20.tar.gz

Output is:

dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ tar -xvf djl-1.2.20.tar.gz
tar: djl-1.2.20.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ 

Another error!

So i installed gdebi (an installing application) and downloaded djl.deb from here

Right-clicked djl.deb and select "open with gdebi". This is what i get in the terminal of gdebi:

dpkg: error processing archive /home/dell/Downloads/djl.deb (--install):
 parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 2 package 'djl':
 error in 'Version' field string '1.2.19_Ubuntu_jaunty': invalid character in version number
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /home/dell/Downloads/djl.deb

Using the cd command and the output is:

dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ cd /home/downloads
bash: cd: /home/downloads: No such file or directory
dell@dell-Inspiron-1420:~$ 

Did i type something wrong or what?

Seems like i have a problem with the directory's. Please help! Thanks to all the people that help me!

djl.deb has problems with dependencies:

enter image description here

I suggest you to use tar.gz sources. But your expectations were wrong: tar -xzf does not install the archive, it just unpacks it to the current directory. To launch Djl, you have to launch djl.sh:

cd Downloads
tar -xzf djl-1.2.20.tar.gz
djl/djl.sh

enter image description here

To finish Djl installation, you should move it to /opt and make symlink to djl.sh:

sudo mv djl /opt
sudo ln -s /opt/djl/djl.sh /usr/local/bin/djl

After that, you can run Djl just typing djl in the Terminal.

If your goal is to make it visible in the Dash, you have to make .desktop file for it (hope you know how to do it; if not, simply use one of .desktop files in /usr/share/applications as basis) and place in ~/.local/share/applications.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Djl
Exec=djl
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/opt/djl
Icon=/opt/djl/icone.png
GenericName[en_US]=Game manager

By default downloaded files would be stored inside the ~/Downloads directory. So run the below command to extract the .gz file to the same directory.

tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/djl-1.2.20.tar.gz

Then you can access the extracted contents on Downloads directory through nautilus.

You can easily install the DJL by downloading the .deb file from Launchpad.

Then go to the downloaded file directory ( ex. /Downloads)

cd [FILE DIRECTORY HERE]

Then install it by :

sudo dpkg -i [.DEB FILE NAME HERE]
