I'm a newbie to Ubuntu. I'm in love with Ubuntu now <3 I don't want to use another OS again!

So, I downloaded Blender 2.6 on my brand new Ubuntu 13.10 and extracted. But I don't have any Idea how to install. Please will you help me guys? Thanks a lot!

Open the terminal or use the shortucut Ctrl+Alt+t and type:

sudo apt-get install blender

Enter the password and wait for installation complete

To install blender you can just easily run sudo apt-get install belnder But in relation to your comment to @Sil answer that you want to instal from source code and don't want to download it again do the following:

cd ~/Desktop/belnder
./configure
make
sudo make install

Welcome to the Ubuntu community!

Blender is available through the repositories, and can be installed with sudo apt-get install blender or through the Software Center. You won't have to deal with the archives at all.

Why don't you use command line? Press Ctrl + Alt + T for opening the terminal and type there:

sudo apt-get install blender

And voila there is Blender installed and ready to use.

From my experience, the Blender in repositories is old. So, I decided to ignore them, and download Blender myself.

So, download one of the packages above, extract it, then go to the extracted blender-2.6.something directory and just run the blender binary from here.

So from command line, it will look something like this:

wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/graphics/blender/release/Blender2.69/blender-2.69-linux-glibc211-i686.tar.bz2
tar xvf blender-2.69-linux-glibc211-i686.tar.bz2
cd blender-2.69-linux-glibc211-i686
./blender
