    As root, I downloaded the Audacity-1.2.xxxx.bz2 , and it is in /root
    and I untar it, and then ./audacity-1.2.xxxxx.bin, and the installation
    goes on, created a subfolder /audacity-1.2.xxxxx under /root, I cd into
    it and ./audacity and the program starts fine.
    I decide to install it out of /root so regular user can use it, /usr/bin
    or /usr/local which one should be the right place?, do I have to chmod
    a+x the audacityxxx.bin file before installing it in the new place?
    p.s. : I am not asking for a yum install method instead of the
    ./audacity.bin because I had tried 2 repositories already but none of
    them worked, and the last resort is audacityxxxxxx.bin and it is working
    fine now)
