Help installing a program in linux

[Bman]

Hi all,

Have recently been using/switching over to Ubuntu 8.10 which is great!

However, am somewhat confused as to how to install linux games (Enemy Territory and Tremulous).

Downloaded the files to my desktop - ie et-linux-2.60.x86.run

Need to know how to extract/install. Tried the command sudo ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run but does not work.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

tremulous is available as a package via Synaptic. That ought to make is a lot easier for you.

Hey cdnLilWolf,

Never thought to check that out!

You may have had to change the permission to X:

chmod +x <app name>

Hey Diigital,

Never thought of that.

Would have made things slightly easier with the install.
