Question: I would like to install sqlite database browser from [sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/).

I downloaded the file and unzipped it with `tar -xvf sqlitebrowser_200_b1_src.tar.gz`

Now it's a directory in my downloads with this structure:

```
| -- trunk
     | -- sqlitebrowser
          | -- sqlite_source
          | -- images
          | .. lots of files

```

From here how do I install the application?

Answer: 
The version on sourceforge is the same one available from repo on Trusty. I can't verify older releases. 

```
cd ~/
mkdir junk
cd junk
apt-get source sqlitebrowser
sudo apt-get install devscripts
sudo apt-get build-dep sqlitebrowser
cd sqlitebrowser-2.0.0~beta1+ds.1/
debuild -us -uc

```

There, you built it from source.
as you have downloaded the .gz file already now just have to configure and install it do the following steps-

I am considering that its downloaded into Downloads folder under home-

```
cd Downloads
tar -xvf sqlitebrowser_200_b1_src.tar.gz

```

After that you will get one more folder , thats the extracted folder to check it run-

```
ls -a

```

then use cd to enter in that extracted folder as-

```
cd name_of_extracted folder

```

then run the configure file as shown below-

```
./configure

```

and install it by using -

```
make
sudo make install

```

Thats it , if you will get any error paste it here in your question.
