How-To Geek

Hello,

I have wubi installed and working on my laptop, I need to install qtractor currently the downloaded .tar.gz file is on my ubuntu desktop, but I have no idea what to do with it from there. Please note I know next to nothing about Linux.

Here is a screenshot from the website for qtractor:

That's strange. Have you successfully extracted the content folder from the tar.gz?

Anyway... if you run the terminal from the folder containing the tar.gz archive

run the following command: tar -zxvf
example: tar -zxvf qtractor-0.5.6.tar.gz

now you should have a folder named qtractor-0.5.6 (or something simular)

cd qtractor-0.5.6

and run either

./confuigure[==prefix=prefix]
make

or

sudo make install

let me know how it goes :)

ok. You might need nautilus file browser for that.

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

You may need to restart nautilus for the change to appear.
killall nautilus && nautilus

you then should be able to right-click and run terminal from current folder.

Thanks for your help.

Rather foolishly I found that you can get it via the ubuntu software centre,
