Installation of binary packages
The installation of precompiled packages under Linux depends on the package format used. Kontour is available in rpm and deb package formats. For a successful installation be sure to select the package for your system. First, some definitions:
To install an rpm package use the command rpm -i
FILENAME.The package may be deleted later using the command rpm -e PACKAGENAME.
Similarly for deb packages, the installation command is dpkg -i FILENAME and to remove the package dpkg -r PACKAGE_NAME.
In both cases ROOT privileges will almost certainly be required to install or uninstall the packages.
