Note that you don’t have to run ‘make install’ if you don’t want to – because it’s not an Ubuntu package therefore it’s harder to uninstall. You can just run ./configure, make then run Barry from that source build directory. Then you could run /path/to/barry/source/directory/Barry at startup, although I don’t know how to do that in Ubuntu.

Thanks Luciano. My main concern was not knowing which of the 12 or so files I need. Usually there is just one .gz or .tar or something to deal with.

Have you tried ‘apt-get install barry’? If you can’t get a package for Ubuntu, then you’ll have to compile Barry. That’s what I did. It’s standard compilation procedure: unpack the file, cd to its directory then run ./configure then make then make install. Check the README file, the instructions are there.

I am a new Ubuntu user. I have installed a few programs manually via terminal already, but how do I install this? Any help please, thanks!
