I downloaded Second life from the website for Ubuntu . And I extracted the file but I cant get it to run or know how to get it to run so that I can install it right.The program is in script until I can get it to run. Can someone please tell me what to do after I extracted the file. Please try to make it simple instructions, step by step, not to great on knowing how to do computer stuff.

The name of the file has now changed, there is a new version, Second_Life_3_7_29_301305_i686. Maybe it would be better to point to where the download is and say to put 'cd [name of extracted file]', or something like that. – kim holder Jun 9 '15 at 17:51
