installation

[Alan Bell]

Hi,
this isn't really a support mailing list, you might find some better 
answers to your query using our IRC channels, or perhaps the 
http://askubuntu.com site. That said, for installing software on Ubuntu 
the best way is not to download things from random places on the 
internet but to use the built in software centre which has thousands of 
applications ready and packaged for your system. It is more like a phone 
app store than the old way of getting software by downloading unpackaged 
software, I think Windows is trying to get an app store or something as 
well but I don't know much about that. As you don't say what software it 
is you are trying to work on I can't provide any better assistance than 
that.

Alan.
