    Exclamation Installation Help

    I'm trying to install a software name Remote Control on to fedora 8 but it won't work. I'm new to linux and I got instruction on how to install, but it won't work. Now I downloaded it to /home/DJ/Download and the folder is crclinux.tar.gz and there is a install file there. When I tried to install it by double clicking on it nothing happens. I have the instruction please see the install instructions below:-

    Open a terminal window.
    Change the working directory to the one containing the downloaded installer archive, e.g.: cd Desktop
    Expand the archive: tar –zxvf nsmclient-installer.tar.gz
    Change the working directory to the installer directory: cd nsm_install
    Run the installer script: sudo ./install (do not click install this is not windows)

    I'm lost trying to changing the directory part, I'm getting file or directory not found.

    Exclamation Installation help part 2

    Here are some more instructions to the software I'm trying to install.

    Installation
    A CrossTec Client can be installed on Linux platforms, designed to run on a Windows manager,
    enabling a Control to connect, view the screen of the remote user and perform a variety of remote
    control tasks:
    1. Download to a directory on the Linux machine.
    2. Extract the TAR BALL. A sub-directory called Install will be created.
    3. Point to the directory and run the installation. (As a Root User)
    4. The CrossTec Client will install to /usr/ctc, providing a Linux daemon.
    5. At the CrossTec Control connect to the Client in the usual manner.

    When you ran :

    tar –zxvf nsmclient-installer.tar.gz

    If you do not get an error, some directory has bee created. Use the command:

    ls -la

    To see if there are some directory with a realetd nsm_install name.

    No there isn't any nsm_install when I ran that command. One thing I would like to add, I didn't install anything. That my problem, I don't know how to. Maybe if someone can walk me step by step on how to install this software?

    Well, if you are new to linux, use the GUI and right click the icon. An option to extract must to appear.

    In KDE, double click shows you what files are inside of the tar.gz fle.

    When you execute the command:

    tar –zxvf nsmclient-installer.tar.gz

    what is the output you get?

    When I open the tar.gz.file there is a install folder. With the option to Extract available. Now when I open the install folder, I have a clientdaemon, a ctc.tar.gz, a install, and a VERSION file. What do I do next?

    If you are using KDE, drag the folder to desktop as example. You will get the content uncompressed in your desktop.

    Then in terminal, you can go to that directory (folder), and run the install program.

    I think you must to change the rights of the install program. When you in the folder, type the command.

    chkmod u+x install

    and then, you can run the install as root user as instruction daid.

    ./install

    I drag the folder install to the desktop. You mention go to that diretory, how do I do that? I type in install in the terminal service nothing work. Tried cd /install nothing works. Remember I'm new with comes to Linux, its not like windows when you want to just go to that directory you just point it there. But back to the problem when I drag the install folder to the desktop. I open the install folder and double click install. It ask do I want to run in terminal services. I select yes the terminal services open for quick second and then disappear.

    You would think just to install the software within the terminal services. You would just path it out where it's located. It's located in /home/DJ/Desktop/install nothing works when I put that in the terminal service. Also what is KDE? I like linux but I didn't think it will be this complicated.,.........

    when you open the terminal, you should be at your home folder (/home/DJ). to get to the install folder type

    Code:
    cd Desktop
    make sure you use the upper case "D". then type

    Code:
    ls
    cd = change directory
    ls = lists directory contents

    you should then see the installer folder or program. directory names are in blue, so if you see "install" listed in blue you can "cd" to that directory. do "ls" again and you should see the installer.

    if you're not sure were to go, just change one directory at a time and use "ls" to make sure what you're looking for is there. I'm still kind of new at this, and this works well for me.

    it might be helpful if you posted a link to where you got the software "remote control " All Google comes up with is this thread for the terms
    " crclinux.tar.gz" and " nsmclient-installer.tar.gz "
    in the file there should be some text files called readme , and install read them . If there is a auto install file it should be called something like install.sh or ( program name ).sh with the ".sh" at the end .
    open a terminal
    [code]
    cd

    I just want to thank everyone here for Helping me. I believe I was able to install it and it said complete. My question where the program I don't see a its icon. Also to advise any one can download this at www.crosstecsoftware.com/evals and look for crosstec remote control for linux. The cd and the ls help very much. I think to log in as root you have to insert su - I believe. I went into application its not listed there. By the way I have the GNOME desktop, I don;t know if that makes a differences?

    I think you don't see the icon in the menu because the installer do not did that. Anyway, the application must to have a name, and maybe you can invoke it from one terminal.

    In the uncompressed directory must be a README file with the details on how to invoke the application and where is installed. If not, that information must be in the web site.

    Luck.
