How do I install swell-foop-3.11.1.tar.gz in Linux Mint Petra? How do I install `swell-foop-3.11.1.tar.gz` in Linux Mint Petra? I tried to install it with software manager but the game does not seem to work, so I downloaded `swell-foop-3.11.1.tar.gz` and extracted it, but I don't know how to install it. Do I use terminal? If so how?

From your answer to my comment, it seems you're unaware that Swell Foop can be installed directly from the repos. Of course trying the installation as a regular user will fail. To install as root, follow these steps:


[user@host]$ su
Password:
[root@host]# apt-get install swell-foop


This of course assumes you have root access. If you haven't enabled the root account during installation, do this instead:


[user@host]$ sudo apt-get install swell-foop
[sudo] password for user:


Note that in this second case, you should use your regular user password.
