Does anyone know how to install tar.gz files?

Please read the thread before dropping a command - this has been covered already. :wink:

Pardon me for contributing!

Oh, please don’t get sniffy because you didn’t read the thread. The question wasn’t “how can I extract a tar file”, and the instruction to do that first doesn’t help with any of the later steps - unless you expected the OP to post back immediately with “OK, now what?” and you wanted to talk them through it step-by-step?

Since we seem to substantially off-topic at this point and the OP’s original question has been answered I think it is safe to close this one.

@Folklore, if you feel the question wasn’t answered let us know and we can re-open it.

I’m native English speaking and i don’t understand half of these abbreviations. A lot of this stuff has come from social media and handheld mobile devices. I also think it comes from a younger generation who use these. I know some. :upside_down_face:
