When you see code on I this site which has several lines and says "Code Select"...how do you use it in a Pi Terminal because it only lets you input a line at a time?

You are expected

1) to either type off line for line , presssing enter after each
2) copy-paste line for line , pressing enter after each

If you are running the desktop, you should be able to simply cut and paste. Each line shoudl be inserted to the terminal in order.

If not, then just C&P each line at a time.

You could write the whole lot as a script file.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
wget http://steinerdatenbank.de/software/kweb-1.6.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf kweb-1.6.2.tar.gz
cd kweb-1.6.2
./debinstall
save that as getkweb.sh
chmod 755 getkweb.sh
./getkweb.sh
