Help with installing it on Ubuntu

Post by davidabauer »

I run Ubuntu, Linux (actually Unix), there is nothing that tells me what to do or how to install it on Unix, there is one file, a text file under Linux, but that doesn''t help on how to get it running, I have SABnzbd-2.3.4.tar and I unloaded it, now I just have a directory with a bunch of files in it that don't make sense to me, a lot of people use Linux, much better than Windows, Max I don't know anthing about

Ubuntu, or another Linux, or some Unix ... please be clear.

If it's Ubuntu:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus
sabnzbdplus
Or, more eloborate:
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/i ... buntu-repo

If not Ubuntu: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/installation/install-unix

Thank you now I have sabnzbdplus installed, and I signed up with Giganews, but when I start sabnzbdplus, I don't see a thing, so I don't know what to look for or even what I am seeing

OK, how do I get it to use a different browser, every time it starts up it uses Firefox which is OK, but I'm used to Chrome from Google
