I want to install Telegram Desktop software on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have downloaded the tsetup.0.6.15.tar.xz file. Now I want to know how to proceed further.
I am trying to install gtk-server. First I typed the command ./configure and then make, but when I typed command make install it gave me this error:
osama@osama-HP-Compaq-6910p:~/Downloads/gtk-server-2.3.1-sr$ make install
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/gtk-server': Permission denied
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c gtk-server /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c stop-gtk-server /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/bin/stop-gtk-server': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1
I was wondering about generic installations of all applications in linux. And what that means? Well, when I was using windows I knew that if I want to install an application I am double-clicking the .exe file and then next,next,next.
In linux, I have understood that maybe there is a common (not generic) way to install any application. Installing from source maybe? Well is there any step by step method that can be used to install application like in windows or not?
I am asking because I do not want to keep asking the google, how to? So, I have managed to install recently from source freecad from this guide and I think that it would be a very nice start as common method, right?
But the thing then is where to find the right source and when an application has a very unique method of installation!
This is my first time trying to compile and install anything on a linux machine. I got the latest version of https://github.com/processone/exmpp via git and read the instructions which state:
2. Build and install
Exmpp uses the Autotools. Therefore the process is quite common:
$ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
after type ./configure I get the error
Cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in ac-aux
Google was of little to no help. Not sure at all what I'm supposed to do. Any help would be much appreciated
Somewhere I read that I should remove my default programs in Ubuntu and then build them from source to speed up my system. Would this work?
