What to do after uncompressing tar.gz application

Post by raydona »

Hi,
Please bear with me as I am completely new to all this. I have installed an application called antiword on Apache/1.3.33 Server to convert Word docs to text documents. The app was in tar.gz form. I used php to decompress the file. What do I do after that? I wish to get to the exe (Setup) file. I have read on other web sites that I should compile the uncompressed app. How do I do that using PHP? I would be grateful for all suggestions.

Files with a .tgz extension are simply compressed files like .zip; once you have decompressed its contents you should all the files that were contained. Look in the location that you decompressed the files to.
