How can I install a bin file from a terminal? I have GoogleEarth and IWhy not install the deb package?
tried installing it with the Package Manager before but though it
seemed to install would never show up anywhere as an app to run. I can
find a lot of various files when I unpack the downloaded bin file, but
I have no idea how to run them, or even what to run. Does anyone here
use GoogleEarth? I tried signing up for the GoogleEarth help list, but
the advice I got was next to useless - I could never find the files
where people said they were.
I'm stumped. I'd like to use GoogleEarth, but it looks like I should
have kept my Windows partition to do so.
wulfy@localhost:~$ apt-cache show googleearth-4.3
Package: googleearth-4.3
Source: googleearth
...
Description: Google Earth! 4.3 - binary files
The idea is simple. It's a globe that sits inside your PC. You point
and zoom to anyplace on the planet that you want to explore.
Satellite images and local facts zoom into view. Tap into Google
search to show local points of interest and facts. Zoom to a
specific address to check out an apartment or hotel. View driving
directions and even fly along your route. We invite you to try it
now.

.
This package contains binary files for Google Earth! 4.3.
me@localhost:~$sudo aptitude show googleearth
...
This is a meta package which allows to install Google Earth! 4.2 or
Google Earth! 4.3. Site : http://earth.google.com/
But how to specify 4.2 or 4.3 ??
You either get the latest, or you can download a specific file from Google
and use the --file option to install it.
I did that, and I still don't get any executable that I can see. And the
sudo says it can't find the package
Wulfy forgets how he actually did this :-) There is no "googleearth"
package unless you make it yourself (or, I suppose there may be some
illegal downloads available - but not from Ubuntu).
Illegal downloads you say? Medibuntu's repositories contain a Google
Earth package.
To the Original Poster:
You must enable the Medibuntu's repository in apt. Then, update your
package list, and finally install the Google Earth package.
For more information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
Sorry for the double post.
Also, just to add: You should use the Medibuntu package instead of
downloading it from google themselves. This is because Medibuntu made
changes to how the installer works, and the package is built
specifically for whatever version of Ubuntu you're running. It also
creates an icon in your menu, and probably a desktop icon too (But not
sure).
