installed with a bit of difficulty , could not get the tar file to open in linux ,
hence copied the tar file to windows machine. extracted the dir's and files to a vtigercrm directory in windows m/c then copied the vtigercrm dir to the ubuntu server by vsftp
copied the dir to /var/www
and it worked!!!
