cant even open the download!!!
Hi all,
New to Linux, I don't understand terminals, Ive downloaded the client but i cant open?extract the file. Trying to install on ubuntu studio. 64 bit. I just get loads of directory not found etc etc.
Any step by step help would be greatly appreciated.
Didn't think I was dumb but beginning to feel that way...
Cheers, Steve.

Try installing it from the Ubuntu software center instead...
The command line install script works well, but you really should run it from the terminal.

After you downloaded the file, open a Terminal. Navigate to the location of the download, for example
cd ~/Downloads
Then you need to make the download executable, as it is a shell script. Like so:
chmod 755 ./vendetta-linux-amd64-installer.sh
Then simply run the script by typing
./vendetta-linux-amd64-installer.sh
And follow the on-screen, or rather, the in-terminal instructions. If you leave everything at the defaults, you can run VO by entering
~/bin/vendetta
in your Terminal. You are free to move the contents of the bin folder to a location of your liking.

Also: Do not run it as root
