iam not sure how to use that command

[Shahnawaz Uqaili]

First install the tar.gz file, then go to that directory by

cd directory/abc.tar.gz

tar -zxvf abc.tar.gz

After it untar, go to that directory

./configure

make

make install


I guide you the whole installation process. You can read the INSTALL file in the directory for installation help.

Thanks
