[Radiance-general] Installing Radiance in Ubuntu

[Nick Calcagni]

Francesco,

Thank you, I typed "sudo apt-get install radiance" in Terminal and it seems
that worked.

However, I have no idea what to do next.

I tried following the instructions on the Wiki you suggested, but it seems
like there are many different commands to do the same thing, and I'm not
sure which applies to me. (However I tried all of them).

Basically, after typing in "sudo apt-get install radiance" what do I type
next in order to open Radiance? (so I can start inputting the scenes from
the "Rendering With Radiance"
 tutorial).

Thanks,
Nick
