Hi kinu,

go here:

after download, right click on the file and make sure that the file is executable in the permissions tab, this should be easy to install as it is a deb based package!.

thanks Wolfman. any syntax? can you give the full procedure?

Hi,

another option is to install and use "gdebi" which is a deb package installer, basically download your (deb) package and right click on it, go to open with and select gdebi!!.

Assuming that a particualr package is in the repository, you can also use the terminal to install a package. See an example command below:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

After putting the command into the terminal; it will ask you for your password and also should install any dependencies that may be required. If you practice with the example, it will also install "gdebi" for you!!

Here is a link about the Synaptic package manager:

What a big mountain for me. I have to give it a try as well. So far no success

Thanks wolfman

Hi,
as swarfendor has pointed out; the package is not a deb package as I first thought, it is a "bin" file, right click on the file and then permissions, then make file executable, close the window then click on the file with a double click and then "run", it should install the package!!.
