I downloaded one file with ".tar. gz" ext  in Kubuntu Hardy Heron. But the problem is, how install that  ? I need your help. I very new linux, please explain me in easy way. Thanks !

You should download the DEB package instead if possible. DEB files are one-click installers, which makes it even easier to install software than on Windows.

If they don't have a DEB package available for download, you might want to read this:

I would recommend try getting a .deb file as it works like a .exe on Windows

The article Pieter referenced above (and he actually wrote it) should give you the info you need.

Sorry, I am not understanding that

What is it you're trying to install? Perhaps we can help you find a DEB package for it.

Thanks Pieter for your support.

I want to install  Cyberoam Client (aka Sifi Client)   - Using this i can login to access internet.

Download Link(readme included) - http://www.divshare.com/download/5586359-14e

If you don't mind, can you please tell me whether the above file is able to install in your machine ?

I uploaded readme file here -http://textsnip.com/dd023b

Ouch, I gonna have to pass on that one. Maybe the guys over at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ can help you out as they have more experience with (K)ubuntu than I do.

I have internet connection in xp (Because i installed Cyberoam Client in XP). So I downloaded wine(.deb) in xp from http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html and opened in Kubuntu , but the problem is i am not able to install atleast that  :'(

There's an easier way to install Wine. Open up a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install wine. Then enter your admin password, and Kubuntu will take care of the rest (including the much feared dependencies).

Do I need internet connection to install that ?

Ouch, you got me there. Indeed, you will need an internet connection to do that. I always take that stuff for granted.

I can feel your pain. In the past, I had to mess around with Linux a lot before I found a distribution that detected my WiFi receiver. If Kubuntu doesn't detect your internet connection automatically, you're practically lost if you ask me. But then again, I'm not an all-knowing Linux wizard.

You can try to resolve all dependencies manually by downloading the DEB package of every single dependency yourself. However, it will take you a lot of time and work to figure out what depends on what. Again, I suggest that you check out http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ for additional (and better) assistance.

So you don't have an Internet connection available? That's going to make installing anything incredibly difficult. The people over at the Ubuntu forum would probably have better answers for you. Unfortunately I don't have enough experience with installing apps on Linux to be of much help.
