I'm a ubuntu newbie so please excuse what could be a simple issue.

After Slicer (imaging software) stopped working today on Windows, I decided to partition my drive to install Ubuntu and subsequently slicer. Given the right terminal instructions and general guidelines, I can install anything. That being said, the slicer download is in a tar.gz.

After I extracted, I was at a standstill. Could anyone point me with how to proceed?

The directory in question is downloadable here: http://download.slicer.org/

Things I've tried:


Clicking on "Slicer" executable: Results in the boot image showing up and then disappearing. The program never fully launches.
Attempt to make (Failed miserably)

Many thanks!

Well there should be an INSTALL or README in the extraction telling you how to install...
