How to install SlickEdit in Ubuntu8.04

I just installed Ubuntu8.04. I want to try to compile a Linux program. I just have SlickEdit in my hand and try to install it. For Linux, I was a first contact and found that it was not very smooth, as if I had returned to the dos era. After decompressing SlickEdit, I did not find anything to execute. I did not know how to continue. I checked it on the official website of SlickEdit and found the installation method: (1) go to [Application] -- [Attachment] -- [terminal] to activate

I just installed Ubuntu 8.04. I want to try writing a Linux program. I just have SlickEdit in my hand and try to install it.

For Linux, I was a first contact and found that it was not very smooth, as if I had returned to the dos era.

After decompressing SlickEdit, I did not find anything to execute. I did not know how to continue. I checked it on the official website of SlickEdit and found the installation method:

(1) locate [Application] -- [Attachment] -- [terminal] and activate the [terminal] program.

(2) switch to the decompressed SlickEdit directory and run sudo./vsinst to start installation.

(3) SlickEdit is installed in the/opt/slickedit directory by default. The method to start the program is/opt/slickedit/bin/.

You can start it in [terminal]./vs or create a starter by yourself.
