how to install .tar.bz2 file -


I am new to Linux and am using Ubuntu, firefox-4.0b1.tar.bz2 < / Code> But I do not know how to set it up from the command line How can I do this?

Do this:

  $ bzip2 -dc firefox-4.0b1 .tar.bz2 | Tar -xvf -  

This will likely uncompress a folder with an installer source code.

If this is an installer, then proceed to run it and install Firefox. / P>

If this is a source code, then you will probably be able to compile and install by doing this:

  $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install  

Otherwise, follow a readme file or instructions that you see after the unps on the BZIP2 file.
