   Now I have my Linux PC up and running I want to install "acidrip". Doesn't   
   appear in the Mint archive but I managed to find and download it manually.   
      
   However, I am at a loss as to how to install it. I managed to extract some   
   files from it, some are also tgz or tar.gz so I extracted those but I   
   can't see anything that looks like an install file/script - and it's a bit   
   like those Russian dolls, I wasn't sure how long to keep going!   
      
   Is there an easy to use program with a graphical interface that I can just   
   point to the top level tar.gz file and it will do all it needs to install   
   the program please?
