Install as a user
- sh vegastrike.run;
- Enter directory to locate the files (default is /home/username/vegastrike);
- Enter directory to put symlinks to binaries. If you do not have a location for binaries in your $path, uncheck the “install symlinks to binaries�? option, then note that the symlink is to the binary in vegastrike/bin/vegastrike.sh.
Install as root
