I'm trying to install RokiSim, a robot simulator on Ubuntu 14.04.
I downloaded the tar.gz and extracted it. But I didn't find any configure folder or make file to start installation. How do I install such kind of software?
There are also Windows versions of the simulator which I can run using Wine. But I want to sort this out because I have another simulator called RoboDK that is also giving me the same problem, no install file. How can I install these?
There's no configure
file because the archive contains binaries.
The executable is in /bin/
: assuming that you extracted the folder in ~/Downloads
, you can directly execute the program making it executable by running
chmod +x ~/Downloads/RoKiSim/bin/RoKiSim
and executing it by running
~/Downloads/RoKiSim/bin/RoKiSim
To install it, I suggest you to move the folder to /opt/
by running
sudo mv ~/Downloads/RoKiSim/ /opt/
to make the program executable by running
chmod +x /opt/RoKiSim/bin/RoKiSim
and to add a symbolic link to /usr/bin/
by running
sudo ln -s /opt/RoKiSim/bin/RoKiSim /usr/bin/rokisim
After that, you'll be able to run the program just by running rokisim
.
