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. Jun 9, 2015 at 17:51

This worked for me, but as Kim Holder pointed out, you need to adjust the filename accordingly - it was "Second_Life_5_0_9_329906_i686" for me, but this will obviously change as Linden Lab release new versions. Feb 5, 2018 at 8:36
Using Elementary O.S, a distribution based on Ubuntu, after these packages were installed, I could run the SecondLife application as follows:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
this is how you get secondlife on Linux:
- Download it from website
- Extract to desired install location
- Open terminal and type
cd /path/to/second/life
then typels
to display files - type
sudo ./install.sh
- type
sudo apt-get install ./secondlife
- type
cd /second/life/directory
- then type " ./secondlife
