How to install any applications(apps) on fedora

If you have just installed GNU/Linux and would like to know how to install software on your new OS then go thru this.

There are many ways but I prefer these:
1.By downloading from internet and then installing manually
2. By installing repositories first and then using yum package installer

lets go for first method

REMEMBER: YOU HAVE TO BE ROOT USER FOR THIS
=======================you need to get the site address for the software(get it from any search engine )
#wget -c site addresslike (# wget -c http://easylinux.info/upload/1.0.bin.tar.bz2 )
# tar -jxvf filename
like( tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-1.53.tar.gz) (note: use jxvf only for tar.bz2 files,zxvf for tar.gz)it will create a directory by same filename to that directory
#cd directory
# ./configure
#make install
====================================================================================Now 2nd method (I prefer this most)
for this u have to install repositories first =============================================
# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm (if u rusing different version of fedora then just change the numeral above.)or
you can do it other way

first download corresponding livna-release.rpm from anywebsite (as required fedora 8,9)
then open terminal
go to the directory in which you u've downloaded the livna repo.and
#rpm -ivh livna-release-9.rpm
now the repo. is installed . now you u can continue with yum package installer
#yum install packagename

u can search for the package by
#yum search packagename
and then install the required package.
