hi Folks, I found a Linux version of SMath and want to install it. I've downloaded the *.tar file and expanded it into a folder. However, there's no instructions what to do from there on. Should I just make a shortcut to the *.exe file? That seems too easy :-)

You may need to down this extra package:

Desktop (Linux):
Framework: Mono 2.0 (libmono-winforms-2.0-cil package) or higher

If this version: http://en.smath.info/forum/yaf_postst25 ... #post13396

then you need to download 'alien' - open a terminal (Menu | Accessories | Terminal) and enter:

Code:
sudo apt-get install alien


then navigate to the downloaded .tar.gz file and enter:

Code:
sudo alien SMathStudioDesktop.0_97_5301.Mono.tar.g


this will change it into a .deb file - then install using Software Center/re or install GDebi Package Installer (gdebi) and install with that! :D
