    Need help installing Swiftfox - Please help

    I have Mandriva 2008 with KDE 3.5 and I am trying to install the Swiftfox web browser using the installer located here: Swiftfox Installer

    I put it in the home directory like it said to, and opened Kconsole, and typed in sh install-swiftfox.sh and it gave me this message:

    Installing Swiftfox...
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 17: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 20: sudo: command not found

    Searching for existing plugins, errors can be safely ignored...
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 25: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 26: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 27: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 28: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 29: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 30: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 33: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 36: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 40: sudo: command not found
    install-swiftfox.sh: line 43: sudo: command not found

    Swiftfox has been installed. Happy Surfing!


    So has it been installed? If so, where can I find it to open it?

    Any responses will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    From the page YOU linked:

    These installers are simple scripts and are probably the easiest way for most users to install Swiftfox. Swiftfox will be installed in the /opt directory and placed in the menu. The script will attempt to make existing plugins available to Swiftfox. There is also an uninstaller available for those that use the installer.

    If you need help with the installer please ask on the Swiftfox Forum.

    i think the main problem is that I am getting this message:

    Password required to install to /opt directory...

    Swiftfox in is my home directory, but I don't know how to install it. I already tried typing sh install-swiftfox.sh in Kconsole, but I got the above message.

    Please help.
