Total Linux noob. I have worked in the WinTel world as a network/sys admin for going on twenty years. Its time for me to get my feet wet with Ubuntu.

Let me preface this with the following: I have googled this and just can't make any head way. Each question just leads me into another rabbit hole. I have looked and looked and keep getting frustrated. So please forgive my noob question(s).

I am attempting to install OpenFire from tar.gz without success. I saved the archive to my desktop and am attempting to unzip the folder(s) to either /opt or /usr/bin as indicated by the OF documentation. I keep getting permission denied. Is this something you can help with?

Using Desktop version 12.04 LTS inside Oracle VirtualBox most current release.

Thanks for any info.

  • Just to be clear, you are talking of this OpenFire?

Better to go to igniterealtime.org and download the .deb package for Ubuntu - you'll have much less trouble during installation.
