    Hi it depends on what linux distro your using, in Fedora I just put up a terminal log in as root with the command su - and then the password and runs yum install gtk-recordmydesktop. If your using Ubuntu use sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop. Then is's installing it self.

    Happy recording.
