|
Hello, this is Swift 110.
|
|
I thought I would go ahead and give you guys instructions on how to install programs
|
|
that you download into Linux.
|
|
In this case will be installing Supertux Cut.
|
|
I downloaded it from the appropriate website and once I had it in my, I made a special
|
|
folder called Games and once it was there, I went ahead and extracted the folder to Games.
|
|
Once I went to that particular folder, I went directly inside of that folder and go back
|
|
just a bit.
|
|
I'm actually going through this while I'm talking to you and I went to bin64.
|
|
Opened up that particular folder and then Supertux Cut is there.
|
|
Now you could just click on Supertux Cut, play the game without even installing it,
|
|
but I want to actually install it.
|
|
What I'm going to do is I'm going to go up to where I have my menu and what I do is I right-click
|
|
menu and then I go to edit menu and by the way, I'm on Linux Mint 17.2 and I'm using the
|
|
Mate desktop. This will be a little more specialized and you might be expecting, but this will,
|
|
it may just very well work for you as well, whatever version of Linux you're using, especially if it's
|
|
based on Debian or Ubuntu, then hopefully this will work for you as well.
|
|
I have to try it later on and see if it works in Integros, which is based on Arch Linux.
|
|
Now you'll get your main menu and what you want to do on the very left-hand side is go to Games.
|
|
Under Games, you want to add to the right of that box and go to New Item.
|
|
It has a plus sign on there. Click on New Item and once you click on New Item, it'll say it'll be
|
|
like a little box where you can type what it says Create Launcher. You'll see the word type,
|
|
Application, Name, SuperTuxCart. Then go to the word Browse and then from Browse, you'll go to the
|
|
appropriate folder. In this case, I went to Downloads and then I go to Games and then I go to SuperTuxCart
|
|
and then I go to Bin-64. I right-click, yeah, actually left-click, SuperTuxCart, then it open.
|
|
From that point on, it's added to my regular menu and now I'm able to launch it without a problem at all.
|
|
So I've been able to do this before at home and they worked out pretty well.
|
|
Actually, but what I did was actually drag the icon up to my panel because I always create a
|
|
top panel. She would want to be rude and interrupt my recording. Who cares?
|
|
So, okay, shut up. Okay, we get it. She's going to keep talking.
|
|
You might want to listen to her. She's going to get on my nerves.
|
|
Shut up. Okay, so I have it in Salt and it's in my menu. I pretty much forget what I was about to say.
|
|
It's okay. It's not the first and not the last time that's going to ever happen to me.
|
|
So let's see if I have Blender installed. Blender 2.75. I really want Gimp on here as well. So
|
|
what I'll do is I'll go to the website
|
|
because I want the latest version on my laptop with Linux Mint. So I go to downloads
|
|
and see the only thing is that it doesn't want to just give me a package to download them from.
|
|
And I'm not feeling it. But pretty much this is how to go ahead and edit your menus and install
|
|
programs that are depth files. Thank you and have a good day.
