I downloaded text editors (komodo, eclipse, sublime text, and medit). I opened the dash home but, they are in tar.gz format and are opening in archive managers as folders. How do I open them?
Thank you.
You will find a README or a INSTALL file in these folders with instructions on how to install. Most likely, they are 1. ./configure 2. make 3. make install . The easier option is to execute sudo apt-get install vim in the terminal.
Can you use aptitude? Open up a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install eclipse
The .tar.gz files are source code. If you extract them, they will contain installation instructions.
tar.gz
for medit.
