If, for example, you downloaded the tbird_A20024ar_pa.depot file to the
/tmp directory you would enter: /tmp/tbird_A20024ar_pa.depot
If you downloaded the software into a directory other than /tmp, replace /tmp
with that directory name.
f. Click OK and SD Install will guide you through the installation.
If Thunderbird will not install, make sure you have already installed the correct
GTK (see above).
