I have downloaded the version for 64 bit Ubuntu; it's a file of type tar.gz. Excellent! Now what do I do with it?

I see elsewhere in the forum is advice to 'run FFS from the command line'. OK, but I can't find any information in the forum under the topic 'how to run FFS from the commend line'.

Is there an explicit intention to NOT tell inexperienced users how to set up FFS in Linux? If so, why? If not, why is there no documentation on how to do it?

The intention is that the tar.gz should be self-explanatory just like a zip archive is on Windows. That said, is there an easier, more intuitive way of packaging than the tar.gz on Linux?

Hi,
I proposed to make .deb packages which are more userfriendly... Look at my private message.
I just added .desktop and folder architecture, then packed it with debreate.
