Re^3: How start an application on Linux

In linux you can omit the extension, so just 'sudokutrainer' or sudoku-t or something like this is in fact a better choice to type (sorry, 'sudoku', 'sudo' and 'su' are already caught). Shorter is better

to start an executable in a terminal you can simply open a terminal, go to the directory and wrote:

dot-slash-executablename

$ ./sudokutrainer

Is the easier way. You can put the program in some place like /usr/local/bin also, export the path, and avoid the need to wrote dot-slash, (you are just saving to type two characters). Of course you need to specify before that the program is executable by "everybody" with:

# chmod a+x sudokutrainer

In linux you can omit the extension Yes you can, but you have to delete it from the filename itself first (just to clarification for MSWin-only users). لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]
