[SOLVED] install lightzone

[fingerrish]

i wan't to install LightZone and i am starting to get mad with that terminal!!
in installation read-me there is said:
1.Open terminal as ROOT in this folder
what is ROOT?
2.tar xzvf LightZone-3.5.tar.gz -C /opt
when i type this in, all i get is this:
tar: LightZone-3.5.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

i can't even get further with first step!
and the next steps are:
cd /opt/LightZone
sh LightZone
so help me - what i am doing wrong??

You need root permissions for that .
Just type
sudo tar -xvf lightzone.tar.gz
and copy it to the dir as it said

Where is the tar file stored.If it is on the Desktop first cd to Desktop


$ cd Desktop
$ tar xzvf LightZone-3.5.tar.gz -C /opt

jes it is on desktop.
but still after these commands nothing changes.

I think they want it to go into /opt so make sure you have that. And move it there.

now everything is ok.
i did what kranny said - only needed to put sudo in-front of second line. installation is complete. thanks :)

[lightbots]

now that it is installed, how do you run lightzone?

[tknudsen]

to start the program, be sure to be inside the folder
