clubs:  | [TSC] How to install TSC on Ubuntu
I'm 100% new to linux, and was needing help installing TSC on Ubuntu.
I downloaded TSC, and it's sitting on my desktop, what do I do now? Open the terminal, and go from there? Thanks for the help. |

Did you download the GUI Installer or the No GUI Installer version? |

Assuming the GUI with Java, then you will do this:
quote:
After downloading open a shell and CD to the directory where you downloaded the installer. At the prompt type:
sh ./installCommunityTSC.bin
the "sh" is probably not needed.
Let us know if it works!

If you can tell me what exactly is sitting on your desktop, it would help.
I'll assume like the previous poster that you downloaded the .bin file and have it on your desktop.
In the case open your terminal, which should put you in your home directory. Then
cd Desktop
sh ./installCommunityTSC.bin
This will likely put a TSC folder on your desktop. Pretty? Not so much. But at least you'll be able to find it until you get a little more used to running around on Ubuntu.
