Installing programs onto Linux
-
Greetings guys. I am new but getting the hang of things on Linux. I have some applications that I have pasted onto my desktop machine (CentOS Red Hat Linux) and I want to install them. #yum install .........will not identify this packages, so I need to give it a route. Can someone help me with the installation from the desktop. To mention them, one of the application is bugzilla-3.2.3.tar.gz Thank you in advance guys

Bugzilla has very robust documentation : http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.2/en/html/[^] Asking the manufacturers is generally the best way to get help installing a specific product.

yeah, thanx. I tried. The first command worked. Updated and installed, but it didnt ask me for any passwords. apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client(I am using Red Hat Linux so mine is yum install mysql) And then the second part below cudnt find most of the packages but is installing the other ones. apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-idn php-pear php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-sqlite php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl php5-curl Thank you for the assistance...

Server applications like MySQL will not show with applications. Also, please be aware that package names differ between distros.

.tar.gz files compressed archives. To open it, do:
tar zxvf bugzilla-3.2.3.tar.gz
The z means unZip, the x means eXtract, the v means Verbose, and the f means File. A new folder will be created, cd into it, see what's in there.

I have no idea why you got voted down for that. Pushed a 5 ur way to counter that a little.
