    When you move it you need to be in the directory you downloaded it.

    First move it:

    Code:
    sudo mv iron-linux.tar.gz /opt/
    Unpack:

    Code:
    tar xvf iron-linux.tar.gz
    Move into directory:

    Code:
    cd /opt/iron-linux/
    Read the READ ME

    Then build:

    Code:
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

    The instruction given did not work for me. I double clicked on the file and the archive manager opened. Then I extracted it right where it was on the desk top. Then when I opened the file and cliked on the Iron file the browser opened. Now I just have to find a place to put it and make an icon.

    Downloaded the file to the desktop, my documents etc. then ran the terminal
    and this is what I get:

    sven@sven-desktop:~$ sudo mv iron-linux.tar.gz /opt/
    mv: cannot stat `iron-linux.tar.gz': No such file or directory
    sven@sven-desktop:~$

    Okay you have to be in the directory you downloaded it. Here's an easier way:

    Code:
    gksudo nautilus
    Opens nautilus as root. Now copy and paste it in /opt and double click it.

    Tried that here's what I get:
    sven@sven-desktop:~$ gksudo nautilus
    Initializing nautilus-share extension
    Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory
    Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

    I am a nooby when it comes to this.
    So maybe a step by step instructions right from the start.
    Lets say I am at the website and am ready to hit the download button in Firefox browser.

    Appreciate all the help.
