Hi all this probably isnt ubuntu specific and i feel really stupid asking this but if i dont im going to get left on the starting grid i only really found out what linux is yesterday and since it looks like its going to be a major competetor for microsoft in the near future i thought id install it on my secondary system and start learning. The install and setup was pretty good and easy (click click click) and the asthetics of the GUI leave windows xp in its dust. BUT... i decided to try and install a few usefull programs so i searched around, found a simple weather program, downloaded it, extracted the archived files into a new folder looked for an installer and looked and looked again, HOW DO I INSTALL PROGRAMS IN LINUX? is it now as simple as just clicking an executable?? please help

23 days later, still need help with this? if you have a source code go to the console: CODE ./configure make sudo make install that will install from source if you have a .bin file you have to make the file executable using proppertys > premissions. than with console execute it with ./filename.bin also you can search for packages using Package Manager..
