Hi there,

The easiest way to install the package is to open a Terminal window and log in as root:

sudo su

After that drag and drop the installation package into the Terminal window and start the install.

Note: the install kit must be made executable.

Right click on it ->Properties ->Permissions ->Allow executing file as a program.
