[Aspell-user] Absolute beginner needs help in installing Aspell

[Gary Clutterbuck]

Hi,

I am completely new to open source software, and have absolutely no idea how to use secure shell access.  I have root access on a virtual private server, but have no idea at all with regard to installing, unpacking and compiling aspell.

 

It’s all completely new to me and very overwhelming!  I don’t even know which folder to try to install it into, is it the root itself?

 

Can someone please provide detailed clear instructions for a complete novice.

 

Thank you,

 

Gary
