If you are launching using an Icon, you will want to set the working directory to the Sesame2 folder.

If you are launching from a Terminal window, you will want to run Sesame from the Sesame2 folder by using ./Program/sesame

-Ray

When you download the linux version (Linux full install), you will download a file called "sesame_2_6_0_personal_linux.tgz". This is a compressed "tar" archive file. Save this file anywhere you want.

To uncompress and extract the files, in a directory where you have write permissions, use the following command:

tar xvzf sesame_2_6_0_personal_linux.tgz

That will create a directory called "Sesame2" wherever your current working directory is. Sesame does not need to be installed system-wide or in some special place, especially if it is just for your own use.

Under the Sesame2 directory you will find the "Program" directory, the Linux executables are there. There will also be a "Data" directory and under that a "Samples" directory, with some sample applications.

If you do want Sesame to be available to all users, simply move the "Sesame2" directory to "/usr/local/Sesame2":

sudo mv Sesame2 /usr/local

and set the path environment variable to include "/usr/local/Sesame2/Program", depending on which shell your are running, that could be something like:

PATH=/usr/local/Sesame2/Program:$PATH

in your .bashrc file (if you are running bash).

Otherwise, you can simply invoke Sesame by typing the full path to the executable in your own account:

~/Sesame2/Program/sesame

(the "~" means "my account")

or you can make a nice icon on the desktop that specifies the path. I would need to know which desktop (gnome, KDE, etc) you are running to give you more specific instructions for setting that up.

You are very welcome.

Because you are using Cinnamon, the instructions for making a launcher in Gnome will probably be close enough. Ray, will correct me if I am wrong, but there is probably a .png file included with the installation that is intended for use as an icon. If not, I'm sure we can send you one. Though, if you are deploying your own custom Sesame application you might want your icon to reflect the application itself more than Sesame.
