OPERATING SYSTEMS 3/4

1.- The easiest is to use the package manager to bring all distributions. With it we can install programs immediately muchisimos using the repositories from the Internet or from a CD. For example, in Ubuntu you can install applications by going to the Center software (or also installing the package manager Synaptic ).
  
2 -You can also choose to download programs from any website, so it is best to lower them in a specific format for your distribution: In Ubuntu, Debian and derivatives packet format used .deb , and you have several pages devoted to collecting programs like www.getdeb.net and uptodown.com/ubuntu . In the case of other distributions like Suse or Fedora format used .rpm . Once the packages have been downloaded you can install them by clicking on them.Programs will be added to the list of installed applications in the package manager of your computer. 

3 -  You can install programs from your web browser: To do this, there are the so - called  apt , which are links that allow you when you press install programs directly from a web page. This only works on some Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, and is to enter the address program or file you want to install on your web browser:   apt: name of the program

 4 -   If you need to use any program created for Windows, you can use it on Linux if you installed before the libraries of Wine . With Wine can run Windows applications on Linux using the installation files .exe or .msi and installing them in the traditional way. For more information read how to install Windows programs on Linux . You can also use Play on Linux , used to automate the installation of Windows programs and games, so you simply choose a program from the list and will be installed automatically.

5 - If the program comes in an executable file formats as .bin , the .run , or scripts .sh , to install it first must give execution privileges by clicking the right mouse button on its icon and clicking on " Properties " . When the file already has execute permissions you can execute it in 2 ways: pressing on or from a terminal. (For more information read how to execute files on Linux ).
