This might be off-topic - sorry - but I cannot see where else to ask this question, I can't find a "post new thread" button.
I have downloaded and installed Zorin 12 ultimate and want to download a few other programs. Firefox and Thunderbird can be downloaded through the software manager and they install smoothly. But I also want to use Wordfast, which has a Linux version but downloads into the download folder. It seems really messy to keep downloaded applications in the download folder (Although they do install and function fine from there).
I have tried moving the gz folders to /usr/bin before extracting them, but I get "permission denied". Where should the applications live? and how can I make them visible in the Zorin menu, or create panel shortcuts for them?
Thanks.
