How do I install files in Linux?
Ok, I have downloadet a program frome the internet, before you ask and flame me yes I am a noob. But thats not the problem. My problem is. How do I install it so I can run it in the terminal window.
The file is .tgz and when i extract it I get a folder with lots of "c" documents and that sorts. I know the basic of programing in Windows. With that I mean the language c++, c# and VB 6.0 and .NET
But in Linux !!! I am blank. I did youst start to try to learn it. The verson I am runing is named sabayon not ubuntu as most people do. But I guess that dosent matter the way to install files are well bascliy the same right?
Thanks for all the help. And I am sorry if I have taken your time with something that was only some pice of trash.

penn-install
PENN-INSTALL(1) General Commands Manual PENN-INSTALL(1)
NAME
penn-install - installer for the pennmush flavor mush server
SYNOPSIS
penn-install [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the penn-install command. It was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
not have a manual page.
penn-install is a program that installs the pennmush server in the user directory from which it is ran. It provides all necessary data and
configuration files for each user account it is setup for, as well as the restart script needed to initiate an instance of the pennmush
server process.
penn-install itself should only be run once per user to install the necessary files and links. All updating of the pennmush server should
be done on a global level by the system administrator.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-v, --version
output version information and exit
AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Ervin Hearn III <noltar@korongil.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
