Photo Editing Program

I have downloaded two photo editing programs, using the Linux editions: Picasa and GIMP. I can see that the files were placed on the netbook, but I cannot find a way to actually execute the downloaded files. I am using Linpus Linux Lite. I would like to install a photo editing program. Any help would be appreciated!!

 

Have you looked at the HowTo on installing programs under Linux(http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=5105)? This isn't Windows; generally you don't download things to install them, you leave it to the package manager.

 

Also check on the google linux repository and choose the script for feedora ...this is the automatic script

i installed that and then downloaded picasa 2.7 and then typed picasa in the terminal and it installed... total installation was like 30 minutes. so easy... picasa is the best...thank you google!

 

Have you activated the advanced mode yet? Like, can you get a menu when you right click on the desktop? If you can, get to the package manager, and search for GIMP. Then just install it from there. At least, that's what I remember...After installing XP, honestly, I don't use Linpus anymore... :lol: So sad...I liked it, but XP is just too simple. XD

 

It won't work for Picassa, but for GIMP, open a terminal and

Code:

yum check-update
yum install gimp

should work
