So I'm not completely gone from YouTube. This is an example of how I'd like to make videos. No series, no expectations, just plain me. Hope you enjoyed.

Okay so I've been getting a lot of people asking the question "the thing says "no such file or directory". This most likely means your ether slightly misspelling something or more likely, your trying to install a file that isn't there. While I didn't explain this in the video so clearly, you need to be in the root account that ISNT in terminal. So you know when you turn on your computer and ubuntu starts and you login? You need to login from their. I know most people don't know how to do that, so continue reading this for instructions on how to enable you root account so you can install hamachi and get on with your life :)

Step 1. Login to your normal account, just like any other time.
Step 2. Open terminal and type "sudo -i". Then type in "sudo passwd root" and then a password you would like to have for your root account. Make sure you remember this password.
Step 3. Log off your account and go the "other" section. Type the username as "root", and then type your password in when it asks you to.
Step 4. Okay so your logged in as root, now all you need to do is download the hamachi file, and follow the instructions in my video and it should work just fine. If you have any other questions, feel free to comment or pm me. Thanks

Here's a link to the page I used for my download of Hamachi for linux.

WARNING: There are many risks to using your root account. Messing up even one command could end badly. Please follow the instructions closely and don't (other than installing hamachi) use root gui as your daily account. I will try to help if you run into any problems but I'm not responsible if you mess up your OS. Also, make sure you remember your root password. If you have confidential info on your computer, than don't write it down in plain sight. Be careful as the root account can help immensely but can also screw you over completely if something goes wrong.
