I downloaded it and extracted it to a file. I know I have to go through the terminal to open it but how do I do it? All I want to do is open the program and be able to use it.

The same way you run any other executable file in linux.

tar -xzf p95v279.linux32.tar.gz
./mprime

then you have done something wrong.
Have you successfully extracted the file? is the executable file mprime in the folder you are in? I am not currently at your machine terminal so you must do some of the work...

I extracted it into a file called mprime and it never worked. I downloaded it, opened the download, pressed extract, picked a place to extract everything to, went into terminal and did everything I could within the boundaries of reading what I could on the internet about how to make this work.

here is exactly what i do on my machine:

Quote:

cd ~/
mkdir prime95
cd prime95
wget http://download.mersenne.ca/gimps/p95v279.linux32.tar.g...
tar -xzf p95v279.linux32.tar.gz
./mprime


choose correct file here (64nit or 32bit)

ugh, still can't get it to work. Are their any other bench testers out there that are good?

What doesn't work? Post error message exactly something sf doesn't work.

Remember if you have 64bit processor use 64 bit binary. 32bit use 32 bit binary.
