How to install files in linux

Introduction:

For the benifit of people new to Linux, I have written a generic explanation of how to install software in Linux. Note that some software may have specific installation procedures, this HOWTO is not a substitute for reading the official installation documentation

The upcoming blogs will cover HOWTO for the following topics:

  • Compiling and Installing software from source
  • Installing RPM's using the Redhat Package Manager
  • Installing using Debian's apt-get
  • Installing binary files (.BIN/.SH)
  • Installing with fedora / yum
  • Installing slackware packages

So just find the relevant one and if still unsuccessfull, jus drop me a mail.
