Re: How to install apps in haiku..?

There should be a userguide after installation on the desktop...

http://haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/applications.html#install

there is one here too:

most apps you extract/expand to /boot/apps folder

you can choose your own folder and structure for your apps... most programms run in there folders... go to the folder where you expanded the app and run the program...
