Hello
I extracted the tar.gz file to the desktop and in the readme notes it says to type ./runinstall in the terminal but when i type that i get
"bash: ./runinstall: No such file or directory"

I dont know what to do, im new to the ubuntu system and needed to install it so i can use SALOME.
Any help would be greatly appreciated[-o<

Navigate to where you placed the untarred folder.

Eg

cd Desktop

then type

ls

which will give you a list of files and folders on the Desktop, then do

cd folder

where folder is the name of your folder. Note when typing out the folder name, hit the tab key after a few characters to auto complete the foldername, helps to prevent typos.
