Hello Eli,

If you are completely green (Not too much Linux experience), don't use that 
link, what you find on that link is source files, and that require you to be 
comfortable with Linux for a couple of reasons:


  *   An installation from source will require you to deal with dependencies, 
like the compiler which complicate the problem more
  *   The resulting setup is unique that when using packaged bacula and it make 
getting help online a tad harder

So if you are using Ubuntu, use apt and pull whatever the distribution packages.

You will have to try use command line though.   Only the console have some GUI 
element, but that too require changing text configuration to make it usable

Regards,
William

Subject: [Bacula-users] installing Bacula on UBUNTU

Hi guys, and greetings

 full disclosure, i have little knowledge with Linux OS (NOR UBUNTU)

I need to make a backup server that will backup data from several computers 
(almost all run the UBUNTU OS) on my network to a central location, Can be an 
external HDD or locally on the server.

I saw Bacula and it looks great.
The problem is that, as said, i know very little on UBUNTU and it's command 
line and how to operate it via the command line, and i would like to have the 
GUI version, I download Bacula from the site 
(https://www.bacula.org/source-download-center/) and got some tar.gz files. i 
see docs there and GUI and some other files.
(here is the full list of files:
bacula-9.4.4.tar.gz
bacula-docs-9.4.4.tar.bz2
bacula-gui-9.4.4.tar.gz
bacula-regress-9.4.4.tar.gz
bacula-sigs-9.4.4.tar.gz
)

How do i install those files on ubuntu?
what file i need to install anyway? is it the GUI? is it the 1st file? ( 
bacula-9.4.4.tar.gz)

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.
