sudo wget -c "http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-5.00.tar.bz2" && bzip2 -cd nmap-5.00.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - && cd nmap-5.00 && ./configure && make && sudo make install

A single command to install almost anything in linux from source

After going through many source files in Linux , most of them are tarballs.

The formats in general practice are :

# ".tgz" is equivalent to ".tar.gz".
# ".tbz" (or ".tbz2" or ".tb2") is equivalent to ".tar.bz2".
# ".taz" is equivalent to ".tar.Z",
# ".tlz" is equivalent to ".tar.lzma"

Out of which , 90% of them will be .tar.gz or .tar.bz2.

Considering them , here is a command which can be used to install application :

# URL is the Application URL

For source with tar.bz2 :

IF the /url/*.[tar.bz2] , get the last part of the url that is *.[tar.bz2]
