MrFraser,

You didn't explain how you're trying to install it and if the installation defaults to that location, but you need to use sudo or gksudo to get escalated privileges to have it install to /opt.

[MrFraser]

oright, the installer is in .bin, so i'll open terminal and change directory to the installer folder and put

Code: Select all

chmod a+x SPSS_v23.0_LNX.bin

and execute

Code: Select all

./SPSS_v23.0_LNX.bin

or do i need to put

Code: Select all

sudo ./SPSS_v23.0_LNX.bin

[WharfRat]

If SPSS_v23.0_LNX.bin is not executable then yes chmod a+x SPSS_v23.0_LNX.bin first then run sudo ./SPSS_v23.0_LNX.bin

It working right now, but it seems like there is no desktop shortcut and start menu shortcut...

That is fairly common with programs that don't get installed through the normal means (.deb files and such). But you can add it to the Menu, and you can put a shortcut on the desktop. In Cinnamon, right click on the Menu button, then click Configure, Open the menu editor. It's likely similar in the other versions.
