Adobe Reader for Elive? [solved]

Does anyone know if Adobe Reader for linux will run on Elive, if so how do I install it?

I've dabbled a little with a few Linux Distro's but I've just installed Elive & I think it's nice but I am a bit baffled on how to install applications apart from it's inbuilt installer.I don't have alot of knowledge of installing applications on other distro's either, though I have found some to be easier than others.


Any help is welcome!!

Hi arts216 , yes , run perfect en Elive.
Well , i install it this way:

Open Synaptic>tab configuration>repository>new , ad URL:

Quote

http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

Ad line Distribution:lenny |
Ad line Secction:main |
Update and install acroread and acroread-Mozilla.

Return to remove the repository and it is added, acroread installed.

Important , just install Acroread not install updates they might.

If you don't want to add a repository, you can go to the Adobe-Homepage and get the latest deb-package in the download-section.
Open a terminal, navigate to the download-directory and install it as root:

dpkg -i AdobeReader_enu-8.1.3-1.i386.deb

After that, you can start the application with

acroread

Thanx so much, it worked!

Is this pretty much how I can install any other packages too? Do I still us the Lenny Main command or something else?

Thank you

Hi arts216 , depends on the version that uses,if using a development version is better not to install packages that are not in the official repositories.

Normally if you use a stable version that tells the system Roko79 is much better.

Yes, I am using the stable version.

I'm having some trouble trying to download & install Audacity via the synaptic, it doesn't seem to show up in the start menu anywhere even though in the synaptic it says it's installed.

Any ideas?

Hi arts216 , Audacity o Audacious?
Main menu option execute type audacity.
