Installing google earth, realplayer, firefox, etc.

[cyborg939]

I have just downloaded the .bin file of google earth and the .bin file of realplayer. How do you install these?

I also downloaded firefox version 1.5.0.4. Its filename is firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz. How do you extract and run it. I looked on the mozilla.com website, it said to:

Linux/GTK2

Extract the tarball in the directory where you want to install Firefox:

tar -xzvf firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz

This will create a firefox subdirectory of that directory.

How do you do this?? For both Firefox and the Google Earth and RealPlayer. Thank you for your help.

For Firefox, you can either install from Xandros Network, or follow the instructions in my last post here :

As for Google Earth :

chmod a+x googleearth.bin
sh googleearth.bin

will do the trick.

Hehe, sorry.

Do you have a program called "konsole" or "terminal" ?

No, and where and how do I download and install them?

[antidrugue]

You must have them somewhere. Either "xterm", "konsole", "gnome-terminal" or "aterm". Look in the "system" section of your menu. Or else you can install them with Xandros Network.

how do you access the xandros network? and how do you use the konsole or terminal?

Do you have the free version of Xandros? Or did you bought it. If you did buy it, than you can look in Xandros manual.

Or you can always access a console with the following keyboard combination : CTRL-ALT-F1. To go back to graphical mode : CTRL-ALT-F7.

Also, have a look at "how-to install programs in Xandros" (by our friend techieMoe) :
