    installing app thru gui

    So, we can go elsewhere to see how to use the terminal but...

    How do we install an app through the GUI? How do we work with a .tar?

    Re: installing app thru gui

    You can't install a .tar.gz through the GUI.

    You can install applications through it, though.

    This explains how to use Synaptic Package Manager (a graphical frontend for apt-get). Adept (the Kubuntu package manager) is very similar, but I'd actually urge you to use Synaptic. Adept doesn't warn you if it's going to remove a ton of packages.
