how to install programs in puppy linux

[xia1498]

Have read many tutorials on installing software in linux but usually 2 to 5 steps work and then have failure. Can anyone help with this. Following is an example just tried. Again i am using Puppy linux 5.

mkdir /usr/local/src/

cd /usr/local/src/

ls

cd <directory>

To elaborate a little further. Puppy uses devx to compile in Puppy Linux. Think of it as gmake, or make in other distros. It is the same as the build-essential tool in Debian. devx comes as a devx.sfs file. .sfs files are added via Puppy Boot Manager in Menu on frugal installs. If you have a full install instead. Use the Puppy Google search engine and search for : installing .sfs in full install.
