Installing Klogic

New to linux and I'm doing everything I can to educate myself
so that I don't have to ask you every little question.

But for the life of me I can not figure out how to install
Klogic.

It comes as " klogic-1.62.tar.gz "

The only packages I have been able to install correctly was the View Your Mind program.

But that was a .deb, and they seem to install pretty easy through the package manager,

But I also understand that the .tar.gz is the more common format ,
And I want to learn how to install them.

The installation readme that came with Klogic, had some installation instructions I didn't understand.
about configuring the file.

any help?

_____Also, I found the problem of not being able to view my cpu temp,
Because sudo apt-get install lm-sensors didnt work

it turns out my motherboard doesn't have a CPU thermocouple at all. So. Thanks for the help.

Please help me install Klogic on Zorin PLEASE!!

The painful way:

The 'easy' way:

1. Install 'gdebi' - open a terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and enter:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

- you will be asked for your login password to elevate you to 'root' (Administrator)

2. Still in the terminal after installing gdebi:

Code:

sudo apt-get install alien

3. Still in teh terminal, navigate to where your downloaded 'tar.gz' file is, e.g., Downloads (default if you have not changed this appears to be 'Documents' - for the purpose of this example, going to use Downloads as the location)

Code:

cd .. Downloads

Code:

sudo alien klogic-1.62.tar.gz

This will create a separate '.deb' package - after yoiu get back to 'username$' - type 'exit' to quit the terminal.

Go to the location of your tar.gz package you should now see 'klogic-1.62.tar.gz.deb' package - ignore the red circle and white cross on it.

Now right-click the newly created '.deb' package and select 'Open with ...' and use 'Gdebi'

Be careful with any tarballed pakages that you download in case it harbours malicious script see my post here:
