Ubuntu

installing a tar.gz file from the web (specifically PYTRAINER)

Asked by binobooks

Can some one walk me through step by step what I need to do after I download a tar.gz file to the desktop to get the program working. I am downloading pytrainer for ubuntu 8.0.4. I am new to linux and I am sure I will need to know how to install programs in the future.

Thank You

I guess are you want to install this program http://pytrainer.e-oss.net/download.php

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

add the rows:

# PYTRAINER (http://pytrainer.e-oss.net/download.php)
deb http://www.e-oss.net/ubuntu/gutsy ./

Save and exit, then using terminal type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pytrainer

If you will receive a warning about not verified software, pytrainer repository seems don't have repository gpg key. Please ignore it and install.

If you don't receive other errors, pytrainer is installed.
-------

Then if you still receive this error on upgrades of your Ubuntu, please simply put a "#" at beginning of the row:

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Change:

# PYTRAINER (http://pytrainer.e-oss.net/download.php)
deb http://www.e-oss.net/ubuntu/gutsy ./

to

# PYTRAINER (http://pytrainer.e-oss.net/download.php)
# deb http://www.e-oss.net/ubuntu/gutsy ./

Hope this helps
