Running GD on Zorin

Postby Alec » Fri Feb 28, 2014 2:59 pm

After many years of using Windows, I am now trying to use GoldenDict on Zorin. I know nothing about any variety of Linux, and my Zorin computer has no network connection (yet), so I need either to install GD the hard way or to use the portable version.

Can anyone offer any advice, please?

Thanks for the help.

Since writing the last message, I've managed to get GD going on a Zorin computer with internet access, using apt-get, but I can't work out how to install it on to a Zorin computer that is not connected to the network.

I assume that it's a matter of copying all the files to some location on the hard disk and then making apt-get (or something similar) obtain its installation files from that location, rather than from the internet.

Apparently that is possible for other varieties of Linux, but I can't find the instructions for Zorin.

If anyone know where to find them, I would be very grateful.

Alec.
