Ixthusdan Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 At the top of our page is a link called Easy-Urpmi. Go to that link and follow the instructions to the letter. Remember that if you open a console (terminal) type "su" press enter and then enter your root password. All system adjustments must be done as the administrator or root user. Then you can open the Mandriva Control Center and find the software you wish to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Welcome to the board! I assume you're using Mandriva Linux? If so, there are a variety of ways to install software. Urpmi is Mandriva's package manager and probably your best bet. Follow Ix' instructions to configure it. Also google around - there are many helpful guides on the 'net for people who are new to Linux. We all had to start somewhere :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
