File types and what to do with them

TGZ
  • .tgz is an archive like zip or rar.
  • Right click on the file and select Extract Here.
  • cd to the extracted folder.
  • Then type ./configure
  • To install type make and then make install.
  • There will be a Read me file with instruction on how to install the file.
  • However the installation will differ based on the different packages.
  • So before installing the .tgz files i would strongly advice you to look at the read me file.
  • But installing software not in the software centre can be tricky and will not always work without some advanced knowledge.
