  • installing .tar.gz In ubuntu linux

ok, let's start from the begiing...
First you should have your file with a (.tar.gz) extension.
Extract it to somewhere like /home/user/
Then go to your desktop right-click and create launcher...name the application what ever you want then in the command box click {browse...} button then browse the location we talked about above (/home/user/) and open the e extracted folder and select the application that launches your program and open it (you should have known this application tried this thing by opening the extracted folder and trying to launch all of the applications ). then the program is added to your installed applications if you want to add an icon press at the default icon before typing in the command box and specify the icon's location.
I wish this was helpful.
there's a simpler way from the terminal :
$ tar zxf file.tar.gz
$ ls
$ cd path-to-software/
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
