I'm sure I didn't install using a command line - I have Ubuntu 10.10. Or have I forgotten a moment of genius?

It would have worked for my sister 'as is' if I'd given her the link and told her to download then click on the file. They only seem to offer it as 32bit and I'd have to use --force to try it on my 64bit Maverick (if that would work) ah well, can't have everything.
