Jeff Hortian Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hey All, I am pretty new to linux, I started a new job and we are using linux in production so I decided to start using linux as my main driver, at least for my laptop for now. I am trying to get Synergy installed; however, I am having some issues getting it to run/install. I am still fairly new to linux so any help is much appreciated. So far I have directly downloaded it from the "http://symless.com/download/file/?file=synergy-v1.8.7-stable-9799e96-Linux-x86_64.deb", I then extracted it within the download folder. Now I am not sure what files I need to run as there was no documentation or forum entries stating how to install it. I did find some executable files; however, I was not able to run those via the sh "filename" command. I was also wondering if I should move the file to the /ect/opt as that is where extra software is installed from my understanding. Thank You, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Rimmer Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hey there Jeff, You should be able to install it using the following: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file followed by sudo apt-get install -f If you're still having issues let me know!
