General :: Installing A Program And Have It Accessible As A Command From Any Directory?
Dec 23, 2010
I want to install a program (specifically metasploit), and have it accessible from any directory in the terminal. I have it installed correctly, but I have to travel to the directory it is installed in to run it (by using ./msfconsole ). I want to be able to be in any directory and just run "msfconsole" and have metasploit run. I have to copy the metasploit folder to the /opt/ directory? Maybe the /usr/bin/ directory?

I am installing a program on a server as a non-root user. Specifically it is tmux 1.5, but this should apply broadly to all locally installed program in my opinion (I mention the program name in case this problem ends up not being my own error).
The program requires me to install some dependent libraries (e.g. libevent and ncurses). So, I installed them both locally since I do not have root access
cd $HOME/library/installation/folder
DIR=$HOME/local
./configure --prefix=$DIR
#... make ... make install
[Code]....
Ok, so this installs the program without problems into $HOME/local/bin, but if I run the executable: $HOME/local/bin/tmux , I get the following error:
tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It would seem to me that the program cannot find the desired libraries, but the file libevent-2.0.so.5 does indeed exist in $HOME/local/lib as specified in the configure options. I am wondering how I can get the program to recognize the installed library in order to run. I tried putting symbolic links in $HOME/lib, $HOME/bin, and $HOME/local/bin, but none of these worked.

I am a student studying computer science course.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
Look at my screenshot at [url].

I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively

This is a simple question which hopefully has a simple answer. How do I set up a directory on my user account which is visible and accessible to other users on the *same machine*? For example I have certain files on my account which, if I want another user to be able to access I'd have to (a) copy them to my thumb drive (b) log out, (c) log in to the other account, (d) copy the files from the usb thumb drive

How to install the BitTorrent peer to peer program? I've downloaded the software, looked around, and cannot find what should be obvious as to how to install and use it. Please keep it simple, as I am an amateur and quite new to Linux and Ubuntu. I'm installing onto Ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop pc. If you suggest using and installing something equivalent, the instructions need to be simple and complete.

I am trying to load vmware server. When running vmware-install.pl it asks where to load the bin files. Default is /usr/bin. Cool with me, so I accept then get the error:
"There is insufficient disk space available in /usr/bin. Please make at least an additional 5924k available or choose another directory."
Ok, so in my searches, most cases people actually do have a full disk. I have 30gb free. Another post somewhere stated it could be the file system used, so I tried different file systems. Now I am back on etx3. What's odd is when I blow away the OS and reload and try to install VMware again, I get a different number to be "freed" in the error. Choosing another directory only yeilds a different disk space request.

I'm trying to install Slackware package into some specific locations, like for example, I want to put Linux base package into at / and put applications on /usr/local. However when I'm installing using "setup" program, I cannot find a part that let me to choose the installation destination.
At "setup install" option, it gives six different installation method like full, newbie, menu, expert, custom, and tag path. But none of them (I cannot find it) gives an option where to put the installation package to.

I used SVN to check out the code of an open source project. When I typed the following command:
[user1@smallfox]~/workspace/project1% svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mahout/trunk
It worked just fine. However, when I typed the SVN command in the root directory, it did not work and gave me an error message:
[user1@smallfox]~% svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mahout/trunk
zsh: command not found: svn
