How do I find Streamripper?

[saltsprung]

I have Linux Mint 8.

I installed Streamripper, but can't find where it is in order to use it.

Please tell me where I can find it?

It's in /usr/bin.
Or you open a terminal and type streamripper.

The lightest frontend I could find doing a quick search of Synaptic was "kstreamriper" if you are talking about a GUI.

Thank you. I found it in /usr/bin, but it won't open?

If I type streamripper in a terminal, I get this:

Thank you, but I'm not sure what you mean by front end or GUI.

GUI stands for Graphic User Interface. It's the part of a program that you see and interact with. Streamripper in a command line program, it does not have a GUI. To use it by it's self you would have to know the commands for it. Kstreamripper is a GUI for Streamripper it presents you with a Graphic User Interface with which to interact with Streamripper without having to know the commands.

also works nicely with streamtuner & tunapie
