So you mean I should just click the 'configure' file? And how do I add the parameters, are u saying I need to edit the file or once u click to run it, everything is going to go as expected. Another thing is this, I don't see anyway to run files in my Home directory. There are other options to a file like: download, extract and more. If am to do all these using commandlines, I still don't see a commandline interface to use and that's where am having troubles
