I recently installed ubuntu on my machine which already had vista. After installing, I had to install several other softwares on ubuntu to get my work done. And the softwares were of different formats like deb, bin ...
for which I had to google every time. On this blog, I have tried to accumulate those different methods.

.deb
=============
sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb [ to install]

.sh
============
run ./file_name.sh

.bin
=================
chmod a+x file_name.bin
sudo ./file_name.bin

.tar.gz
=======================

first uncompress and then after getting in the folder , run these commands
./configure
make
make install

make unistall [if u wanna uninstall]

Hope this should help them who are puzzled in installing different packages.
