If I actually downloaded a pre-built Domoticz for Ubuntu, what do I do with it?

Hello:
I downloaded from www.domoticz.com the Linux package 4.10717 2019-05-09.
I gunziped the domoticz_linux_x86_64.tgz file to domoticz_linux_x86_64.tar
In a subdir, I 'un-tarred' said archive, and found a number of subdirs, files, and
this:

$ file domoticz
domoticz: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=b93b168d7575381ac6baacd1fad9f691f73343b2, not stripped

Looks like the program... Not sure what to __do__ with this subdir, or how / where
to install / put it. Can't find any docs on this situation. Everything is about building
from source.

Thx.

Multiple hours of frustration trying to get a working install of openHAB brought me to Domoticz...

The hours are starting to accumulate getting the same result with this system. Or should I say,
the same non-results.

Gullible that I am, I thought I'd follow the directions and "get the source" per obvious instructions.

Hmm, I have to build a demanded-version of Cmake to build Domoticz.? What's next? How much
time & patience do 'ya have, bub...

Time to step away, get some food, and ponder if it's better to throw in the towel and try another HA
project.

Why not use the install script? Open a terminal the run

Code: Select all

 curl -sSL install.domoticz.com | sudo bash

Well, thanks much! Things are now moving along. Appreciated...
