How to install .tar file in UBUNTU 13.04?

You cannot "install" a .tar.gz file or .tar.bz2 file.

These .tar.gz files are g zip-compressed tarfiles , compressed archives like .zip files. .bz2 files. One can extract .tar.gz files using:

tar -xzf file.tar.gz

Similarly one can extract .tar.bz2 files with

tar -xjf file.tar.bz2

If you like to see the files being extracted during unpacking, add v:

tar -xzvf file.tar.gz


If you want to execute some file after extracting some .tar.gz files,

use the following command

find the executable file using ls -lrt command

and look for values of  rwx, where r - read , w -write and x - execute,

there are 3 sets of rwx where one is for the owner of the file, generally the root, second set belongs to the group the user belongs to
and lastly the one for the user itself.



Well dont get into much details
simply write

./filename

to execute the file, after getting into the directory using cd (Change Directory)  command

in case there are permission violations

use the following command

sudo ./filename
hit enter


In this case, asks for root password and then executes the command.
