So, i have been trying to use Cgminer for about a week now, problem is. i dont know how to even launch it at all.
I am running Ubuntu 12.4 and i have been trying to download and run it for a long time. i honestly don't know what i am doing.
as far as i have figured out, i download the latest version from this: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/2.7/
and run it. but i don't have the first clue what so ever as to what i am doing.

no, i am not a stupid when it comes to computers, i have been pulling them apart and messing with them since i was 10 (now 16)
the problem is i'm dyslexic, it really does take a lot for me to learn how to do something, so if anyone can help me out, it would be much appreciated, cheers.

What command did you run on cgminer?

Thats the point, i don't even know how to run it. I have checked out numerous threads here and have tried multiple things, i don't even know if i downloaded the right copy of it.

A few threads i have seen have told me to run certain sudo commands in terminal but that doesn't sound right to me
