Can't install on Linux

Hi I have today downloaded both the 32 and 64 bit archives for install onto an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system.

Neither archive contains a file called install_gui.sh

All your documentation relating how I install on Linux states that I should extract the archive then find the file install_gui.sh and execute. As the file is not included in the archive, how do I install on Linux?

Thanks

Install using the install.sh

Install using the install.sh script. It should work fine. I tested it on an Ubuntu 13 system and it installed. If you do have trouble, try it again by doing a "sudo ./install.sh" instead of as a local user.

I have it now, thanks for

I have it now, thanks for your help. I'm new to linux, it was the ./ before install and .sh after that was getting me. running install was running a completely different program.

For those others out there who are not so familiar with linux as windows, use this command.

./install.sh

Docs for linux install need updating to reflect this change.

When installing one should be careful to extract it to a folder that way until she has no spaces example : work area , my documents , etc ... You should use a folder / temp , for example.

Hi Christopher,

a little advice from a linux guy: the ending *.sh is a Hint, that it is a shell-script. it's also possible to execude such a script by typing "sh install.sh" or "bash install.sh" even if it's marked non executeable. If it was executeable, it's also possible to double-click the installer and it feels just like windows.

Welcome to the Linux Way. There is always more than one way to do it right. ;-)

Happy Coding!
