How to access downloaded games on Linux?

Question

I downloladed a few games from the internet (torcs, sauerbraten etc.) and I dont know how to open them. I have Linux SUSE on the HP mini-PC and when I open it it just goes to the archives. Can someone please help me!!!?!?!??!

Answer 1

Believe it or not, one should generally not download and install packages directly from the website, unless they are either making their own distro, or use a distro with no built-in package manager, like Slackware. I am not familiar with SUSE's graphical tool to install packages, but installing via the command line should be simple.

Open up a terminal (in KDE it is usually called "Konsole"), and enter the following

su root (when it prompts for a password, enter your user password. You won't see anything displayed, but it's there)

yum install torcs

yum install sauerbraten

yum install alien-arena

yum install tremulous
