I have downloaded xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-2-installer.run and now how can I install it in my Linux OS.
I can only speculate that you haven't tried to run the file and you are totally new to Linux and Stackoverflow. The standardish way to run an executable on Linux is this (in a terminal).
Open a terminal
cd /Path/to/savedfile
Give the file permission to execute. (Google Linux file permissions)
chmod 777 xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-2-installer.run
Run the file
./xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-2-installer.run
(Totally untested)

I am running a Windows Powershell provided through the git for windows installation. This shell provides many unix style commands (i.e. "ls", "mv", etc.).
My question is: How do I access Unix style paths from the powershell cmd line on Windows?
Consider this example: the "ls" program is installed and works in the powershell. The path is shown as "/usr/bin/ls" if I type "which ls" as the cmd prompt. But if I try to change my current directory using "cd /usr/bin/", the shell complains that the path is not found.
I can't see any mounted volumes or anything like that using "mount" (perhaps in PowerShell it is a different command?).
I'm asking this question because I have other files that I need to get to which are listed under unix-style paths, and right now I can't get to anything. I figure if I can get to /usr/bin, then I can figure out how to get where I really need to go.
Powershell is not Unix. It may have a few familiar commands like "ls" and "ps", but that's where the similarity ends.
When you installed Git For Windows, you likely installed the Git Bash shell as well. Run that instead to get a more Unix like atmosphere. (Re-install Git For Windows if you didn't select this option on install).
But even with Git Bash, there's still no such folder as /usr/bin. That folder doesn't exist on Windows. If you want a Unix emulation on Windows that includes the traditional folder structure, use Cygwin. And you can run Git on that environment too and access an emulated /usr/bin folder.
I just found Matlab (2016a) put a 2.5 Gb installation files that it fetched during the installation in the root home directory (Linux mint 18), under /root/Downloads/MathWorks. I guess it is probably because I use sudo for installation.
My question is:
Is it normal that program store information when user executes it with sudo?
Can I delete the file under /root/Downloads? (My limited Linux knowledge told me do not touch anything in the /root folder)
When you execute anything with su...do, you basically execute it 'as' root.
Mathworks uses the Download-Folder (which is in your case /root/Downloads - since you have executed the installer as root) for temporary data (According to https://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/229835-is-the-mathworks-folder-necessary-to-run-properly?requestedDomain=www.mathworks.com).
So, yes. It seems like you can delete the folder.
Or just move it to MathWorks.bak and check if Mathworks still works properly. In case everything is working fine, you can delete MathWorks.bak.
A program can do anything when run as sudo and depends only on what the program is designed to do. sudo simply elevates the permissions when running a given command.
I would have thought that the installer would have downloaded everything to /tmp instead of /root/Downloads, but as long as you didn't select /root/Downloads as your installation directory for MATLAB and this is only the temporary download location you can certainly remove it after successfully installing MATLAB to a "typical" location such as /usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a.
I have some source files and one bash script to run during installation in Ubuntu machines.
What is an easy guide to Debian packaging and create packages for own use?
My practice includes:
I made a sample which copies the files in to /usr/bin/ folder using pbuilder environment, but got struck with running a process.sh file which contains:
set -x
cpath=`pwd`
cd /usr/local/
mkdir libexec
cd
cd $cpath
cp askpin /usr/local/libexec/
cp badpin /usr/local/libexec/
cp msg /usr/local/libexec/
ldconfig
Any help is appreciated.
Traditionally these scripts go into the debian/DEBIAN directory along with the control file and are called preinst, postinst, prerm and postrm.
They are run when it is appropriate by the installation/removal process.
Include a shebang at the top of these files.
See: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html
Edit:
Just chased down pbuilder and realised that the above answer probably means nothing to you.
I didn't know pbuilder existed, if I had maybe I would have used it, instead of scratching my debian builds into the bare metal, where the above answer makes sense.
I am trying to run Go's executable file after using command go build instead of typing go run filename.go.
I typed go build in the directory where the Golang source file resides. After the executable file had been created, I typed ./filename to run it. Then the terminal displayed a line :
bash : ./filename : Permission denied
I had tried to change the permission of the filename by typing :
chmod u+x filename
But this action doesn't give any effects. The permission denied error still occurs whenever I type ./filename.
Is there another way to build a Golang applications from source code, and then run it from executable file?
All things done well if I do this task in Windows command prompt, after typing go build, the filename.exe is created and there is no any problem when I run it by typing ./filename.exe.
NTFS and FAT have different permission models than Unix. This especially means that there is no executable flag on such a file system. Calling chmod a+x FILE is a no-op. Linux emulates classical Unix permissions on NTFS file systems by setting a mask for each file that contains the would-be permissions.
To fix these problemss, either move executables to a different file system or change the mount flags to use a permission mask that enables the executable-flag (for all files).
I just installed Qt. I tried to run some demos but I cannot run any, this is the message:
Cannot create file /opt/QtSDK/Demos/4.7/chip/chip.pro.user: Permission
denied
To avoid this in the future, how can I set permissions to any program I install?
I'm new to using linux, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.
Either don't install the SDK in a root-access directory, or run the program (qtcreator, etc...)with root privileges. I would choose the former solution. I generally use a folder in my home directory.
Qt SDK is standalone, so you can copy or move the whole folder to a new location which doesn't requires root privileges.
