[ubuntu] Google Earth in 9.4

Hello,

I opened the Synaptic Manager,found,and downloaded the support package for Google Earth.

That done,I went to Google's sight and downloaded it for Linux.

But no joy.

Yes,I checked the archives and Google first.

How do I download Google Earth for 9.4?

-------

Thank you

Google Earth is hyped a lot, but it is unbelievably crappy software. You would be better served with alternatives from Microsoft, NASA, US Geo Survey, Atlas of Canada etc. Every major country has a better earth survey site than Google Earth.

Did yo download GoogleEarthLinux.bin from earth.google.com to your desktop? You need to install it from a terminal though.

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

Code:

cd ~/Desktop
chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
