Greetings.

So far all I know how to do to install software to the rasberry pi is to use the sudo apt-get command. How does one go about installing a .tar.gx file ?

Thank you

tar.gx not idea
tar.gz possibly :-
tar xfv tar.gz

cd tar
./configure
make
sudo make install

[change tar to be whatever.tar]

YMMV

If you install software which is not in repository it must either be compiled for ARMv6 or Multi-Arhitecture......
