The installer comes in three flavours: a Debian package, a
RPM and a compressed archive.
If you can use the Debian installer or the RPM on your Linux
distribution, choose the appropriate package and use
dpkg (Debian) or
rpm (RPM) to install it. On most desktop
distributions, simply double clicking the package from the
explorer will prompt you whether to install.
Download the archive which matches your Linux version
and expand it on your computer, in the root folder.
