I am trying to install a Rhythmbox Plugin (File Organizer https://launchpad.net/rb-fileorganizer) on my VPS Ubuntu installation. On the desktop, I would be required to open the folder then double click Install.
On the server, I downloaded the plugin got to the directory but I have no way or 'double clicking' of running the installation file via the terminal.
I have attached an image of what I see. 
Read the README
less ./README
type q to quit less when done.
I assume you will run the installer
./INSTALL
You may need to change the permissions first
chmod a+x ./INSTALL
apt-get isntall build-essential - that might fail on your VPS and if so, you will have to install them as needed. apt-get install make
I'm the current maintainer of this plugin.
I just extract releases into the plugin directory, the required path path is:
$(HOME)/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/fileorganizer-gtk3/
To install from the commandline type:
make install
Or:
make install-gui
The install file is just a shortcut for install-gui. If it's not executable that's a bug I can look at for you.
People are really helpful on this website. I found a "grass roots" answer for "blunderers" and avid "new-to-Linux" dabblers, like myself. Here is a helpful URL if you need 'absolute beginner' help on command line protocol for this type of file.
How do I install a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) file?.
I sorted it out without being a further nuisance and maybe URL will help others like myself who prize Linux Ubuntu. Rhythmbox Music Player is a fine app.
By the way, the Rhythmbox File Organizer is a rather nifty plugin.
