18 Jun 09
Hello there guys. This rookie seems to be getting the hang of Linux. Now, just one more help from the last one. I have some applications(SugarCE-5.2.0f.zip, jbpm-4.0.CR1.zip, bugzilla-3.2.3.tar.gz) on my desktop, just to name a few...I know how to install but have not installed applications that are already on my desktop before.
Anyone wana give me a dummy assistance with this one.
Thank you in advance and for the assistance before this one.

For Sugar, see this howto. It is Ubuntu-oriented, but here is the meat of it, tailored to RH. Do this in a terminal:
su -
mkdir /var/www/html/sugarcrm
cd /tmp
wget http://www.sugarforge.org/frs/download.php/5597/SugarCE-5.2.0f.zip
unzip SugarCE-5.2.0f.zip
cd SugarCE-Full-5.2.0f/
mv * /var/www/html/sugarcrm/
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/sugarcrm
service httpd restart
To access files on your desktop, from a terminal, look for them in $HOME/Desktop.
E.g.,
[joeblow@mybox ~]$ cd $HOME
[joeblow@mybox ~]$ pwd
/home/joeblow
[joeblow@mybox ~]$ cd Desktop
[joeblow@mybox ~/Desktop]$ pwd
/home/joeblow/Desktop
[joeblow@mybox ~/Desktop]$ ls
bugzilla-1.2.3.tar.gz someapp.tar.gz

I like the lay out of thes web sight and as a ref to this topic the format of this web page could become a standard for information management from event oganizing to company personel administration (get the word out) It could be used to organize classes and a course schedule for school and assignments . . its summer though so I'm just setting up my tee.

Thank you very much for your help..I have downloaded the zip file, but I can not seem to be able to unzip it. It says it can not find the file.

Is there a simpler way to do this..I mean, installing straight from desktop.....Now I know how to install going through a website, but what if I already have this software on my desktop already and want to install it from there......
That would be simple enough.
Thank you guys

I believe you a not using the right file name when running the unzip command. See the last part of the wget command here:

Now see your unzip command here:
[root@REMSSVR tmp]# unzip SugarCE-5.2.Of.zip
unzip: cannot find or open SugarCE-5.2.Of.zip, SugarCE-5.2.Of.zip.zip or SugarCE-5.2.Of.zip.ZIP.
To remove doubt, copy and paste the filename right from the wget comand that you ran. Or copy and paste this command and see if it works:
unzip SugarCE-5.2.0f.zip
