Nowadays robomongo developers releasing the new versions of robomongo as tar.gz
not in .deb
packages that was easy for double click installations. But that option is no longer available. So how to install it as a program in Ubuntu. I have tried extracting the package and install but failed.
admin@admin-lenovo:~$ cd Downloads/
admin@admin-lenovo:~/Downloads$ tar -xzf robomongo-0.9.0-rc4-linux-x86_64-8c830b6.tar.gz
admin@admin-lenovo:~/Downloads$ cd robomongo-0.9.0-rc4-linux-x86_64-8c830b6/
admin@admin-lenovo:~/Downloads/robomongo-0.9.0-rc4-linux-x86_64-8c830b6$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
Also .make
