I just installed ubuntu, and I was making this thread for any questions I might have after I use it for a while.

The reason I installed ubuntu is because Windows messed up and I got tired of it doing that all the time.


Questions:
How do I install a .bin file? (or run it to install)

To install a bin file, make sure it's executable:

chmod +x ./(file).bin

then run it:

./(file).bin

Ubuntu has a Package Manager called Synaptic(?) found in the System tab. biggrin use it to find the programs you need. it installs them for you.

BTW, i just Dual-booted my Laptop with ubuntu! =D -airhighfive- surprised

You can't find everything with Synaptic or Automatix. Here is normally what you need for tar balls. But always read through the developers website for installation instructions because they may be nice and have an automated installer, or may want you to do something else.

tar -zxvf whatever.tar.zipextension
cd whatever
./configure
make
sudo make install

If durring any of these you see that you're missing depandancies, start tracking them down and installing them. This may take five seconds or may take weeks. It depends on how bad the dependancy hell situation is. It took me three days to install qemu, and I really haven't even used it. O_o

I'm way too late with this reply but for an instant answer you could've googled: install .bin linux

The second link that appeared was:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/46122-how-install-bin-file.html

Searching distribution messageboards is also pretty helpful. And for commands there are a few cheat sheets out there.

Usually you have to enable certain things to get more apps. but if you're looking for a specific application, you should be able to find their website. =/
