Limewire/Zip file

#1 Post by Charlie »

Hi;

I am pretty new to linux and brand new to Debian. I have fooled around with Ubuntu so I know how apt-get works.
I am trying to install LimeWire. The LimeWire home page has it in the form of a .zip file which I cant manage to open. I also tired: wget -c http://frankandjacq.com/ubuntuguide/LimeWireOther.zip
and then
unzip -u LimeWireOther.zip -d /opt/
The error is:
unzip: command not found
I have tried to work this out and googling was not to helpful.

TIA
Charlie

You'll have to install unzip, as it doesn't come installed automatically. Fire up Synaptic, and do a search for it, and you should find it.

Also, I highly recommend hitting this, instead of LimeWire:

http://www.frostwire.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

It's the free (both price and code) spinoff of the LW project, which means no nag ware, no forced bandwidth limiting for non "Pro" users, no ad or spyware, and no filtering of results.
